Looking for 8% fromage frais

Asked on 29 Jan 2019 by madeline king

I'm hoping to make Delia's banoffee cheesecake for some friends that we are having dinner with - however I can't find 8% fromage frais. Please can you tell me how much of what substitue I need for this?? Recipe says 200g of fromage frais

Hello,

8% Fromage Frais is usually available in Waitrose – either Waitrose own brand or Rians La Faisselle brand (I’ve seen Rians on French Click as well).

If you cannot get the 8% I’d use the fat-free fromage frais (which seems to be avail able just about everywhere) – For 200ml I would substitute with 150ml of the fat-free fromage frais combined with 50ml extra thick double cream or full-fat crème fraîche.

Best wishes

Lindsey
