Buttermilk Creme, a sauce for berries and poached fruit.


It is going to be berry season very soon.






Not just strawberries, all berries.







 
This sauce is delicious, just right over ripe sweet berries.







Or poached fruit, like rhubarb and plums. 







Buttermilk Creme
by the seat of my pants
see update below: a cooks wisdom

4 oz cream cheese
2 t vanilla
1/3 c sugar
1/2 c fresh buttermilk

even the homemade vanilla extract is ready

Beat cream cheese, vanilla and sugar until fluffy.


Mix in the buttermilk one or two tablespoons at a time, scraping sides of bowl to the center. Continue to mix, until smooth. Drizzle over berries.

makes approximately 1 1/4 cups sauce.


As always, thanks so much for stopping by.
I appreciate your time and your comments.

Update:  decrease sugar to 1/4 cup, if using the sauce over berries or other fruits that are even slightly sweetened with sugar.

That looks like it might get the grandchildren to eat more berries. Everything they eat needs "whipped cream" they say...lol...This looks a bit healthier.

Melynda,

This sauce looks fantastic! I love using buttermilk in recipes. I've always wanted to make vanilla extract, and you may just be my inspiration. I can't wait for fresh berries!

That sounds so good, I could eat it without the berries. How bout I just dip a cookie in the sauce.

Brenda said...

I could eat just the creme, lol! It looks wonderful and I bet it would taste good on lots of things.

Hello there,

Dropping by from the LBS tea party and I'm quite glad I did :)

This is simply scrumptious-looking. Haha. I love berries. Yum!

Would it be weird to use this for my pancakes? Haha.

Have a good weekend!
