I'm sure the same would have been true with the sour cream, though. Rose has an amazing sense of balance with tangy vs sweet vs rich. I think I may have left the white chocolate a little too warm because it was fairly drippy, but it firmed up reasonably quickly as I was working with it. I may also not have let the cake cool quite as long as I should have. Some of the leftover crème fraiche was particularly decadent on our roasted baby potatoes tonight with supper (pot roast -- I love my husband). I think I should have spent some time on the treadmill this evening instead of baking gingerbread cookies! Crème fraiche is 40% Milk Fat!
