    No, it's the virtually fat free one, plain, what's it's like before all the sweeteners and colourings are added.

    You can freeze them for ice yoghurt things or how about adding to fresh fruit smoothies. Layer on top of a biscuit base for a yoghurty cheesecake or mix with meringues and fresh berries for an eton mess sort of dessert.

    I like this shake with fromage frais http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/lowfatvanillashake_71367 it vertually fat free.
    And here 11 other recipes with fromage frais http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/search?keywords=fromage+frais&occasions%5B%5D=&chefs%5B%5D=&programmes%5B%5D=&x=18&y=13
    If you feel my post has been useful, " merci" would not go amiss.

    Yes - I did it on Sunday.

    It looks a little curdley towards the end of cooking, but it sorted itself out in the end.

    I wouldn't hesitate to use it wherever yoghurt, soured cream, smetana or creme fraiche was suggested. I've also used it instead of skyr and it's been fine.
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Had a bit of a blonde moment today and bought 500g of Fromage Frais instead of Creme Fraiche (plan was to make home made ice cream). Any ideas what I can do with it? The use by date is the end of the week so I could use up for my lunches or for an evening meal.

    I know it's a bit of a $64 million question without knowing what other ingredients I have but all ideas welcome.

    Thanks
