Re: Crema Mexicana, what is this and where
Mexicano
Ingredients:
2 cups of heavy cream
1/4 cup of buttermilk
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 teaspoon of pepper
Optional ingredients:
1 Tablespoon of chopped chipotles in adobo
1 Tablespoon of chopped cilantro
1/2 a diced shallot
Chopped chives
Juice of a quarter lime
1. Bring the cream up to room temperate. You can either leave in a warm place for an hour, or slightly heat in a small saucepan. Do not heat the cream to over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Stir in the buttermilk. Cover and set in a warm place (between 80-90 degrees) over night. A gas oven with the warmth of the pilot light should be sufficient. The crema should look noticeably thinker. If you are using a mason jar for this step, make sure not to seal the lid to tightly.
3. Refrigerate the mixture between 4 and 8 hours to finish the thickening process.
4. Add salt, pepper, and any other optional ingredients to the crema either by mixing by hand or in a blender.

I would look in a Hispanic market. They probably have it ready made.

Crema Mexicana
Crema mexicana, the Mexican version of crème fraïche, is a cultured cream available in the refrigerated dairy section of Latin markets and some supermarkets. It's great drizzled over enchiladas
I have never used it myself, but I see it in the store all the time.
