First option
There are several cream-fresh recipes on the Laivin Internet portal. You can cook it in two versions. One of them provides for the heat treatment of this product, the other dispenses with this process. It will take a day for both used recipes to get a thick consistency, like sour cream, and a light sourness was present in a bright creamy taste.
In the first case, a portion of fat cream in a volume of ¼ liter is taken. The cream fat should be between 33 and 35%. You will also need yogurt or natural yogurt in an amount of 2 tbsp. l
The cooking procedure is to combine fat cream and yogurt (natural yogurt). The temperature of the components should approach room temperature. The lid on the bank should not be completely closed, just covered. From above you need to cover everything with a towel. The product should be at room temperature for 24 hours. After thickening the cream, they will need to be mixed with a spoon, cover tightly and sent to the refrigerator shelf. There, the cream will become even more dense.

To get the product you need to take a saucepan in which the cream is put on a slow fire. With a culinary thermometer, you can measure a temperature of 72 degrees Celsius. If this is not available, they are guided by the quality of the steam. If it is thick, but the liquid has not reached a boil, it is time to remove the saucepan from the stove and close, then wait about half an hour.
Cold water is poured into a large bowl. The heated mixture is placed here (together with a saucepan) and cooled to cool completely. It is important to cook with care so that water does not get into the cream.

Useful bacteria, which contribute to the formation of a cream fresh, must create an appropriate temperature. Then their reproduction and obtaining a thick consistency is ensured.
