Whipped Crème Fraîche (and Berries!)

As much as I love berries with whipped cream, I will admit a new obsession with berries with whipped crème fraîche. That little bit of tang whipped crème fraîche has gives it a slightly sophisticated edge that homier whipped cream can't quite muster, and it's an edge that works very well with sweet, ripe berries like the blackberries pictured here.

You can find crème fraîche at many specialty and gourmet grocery stores, or make it yourself - see How to Make Crème Fraîche to get started. All you need is heavy cream, a bit of yogurt, sour cream, or buttermilk, and some time to let it sit.
