Horseradish cream is a classic that gives a fresh, sharp lift to all kinds of dishes. With only 5 ingredients, this recipe could hardly be easier. A base of crème fraîche (38% fat) makes the cream both light and creamy, and its richness balances the intense heat of fresh horseradish beautifully.
This horseradish cream is especially good with fish such as salmon and cod, or with smoked meats and roast beef. It also works well as a dip for crisp vegetables, as a topping on smørrebrød (open-faced rye bread sandwiches), on all sorts of appetisers, with beetroot tartare and the like. For the best flavour, I recommend using a piece of fresh horseradish that you grate yourself – it really brings out the character of the cream.
The cream keeps in the fridge for 2-3 days, so it is ideal to make ahead for a dinner party or as a quick addition to weeknight meals.
Horseradish cream
Ingredients
- 150 g crème fraîche (38% fat)
- 2 tbsp fresh horseradish, finely grated
- 1-2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1/2 tsp sugar
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
Method
- Put all the ingredients in a bowl and whisk well with a hand mixer until the cream thickens and turns light and fluffy. *Use a piece of fresh horseradish and grate it yourself – it makes the best horseradish cream.
- Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper – and a little more horseradish, if you like.
- Keep it chilled until serving – it keeps well in the fridge for 2-3 days.

Kan cremen fryses? Har gode erfaringer med at fryse peberrodscreme lavet på flødeskum.
Hej Kaj
Det har jeg desværre ikke erfaring med, så der må jeg være dig svar skyldig 🙂

Da det er umuligt at købe 38% creme fraise prøvede jeg at bruge 18%, men det kan ikke piskes tyk så det er alt for tynd. Kan man gøre noget. Det smager godt men ubrugeligt.
Hej Klaus
De plejer at have det i større supermarkeder som Føtex, Kvickly, meny osv.
Tror desværre ikke du kan redde den, da man ikke kan piske 18% crème fraîche.
Måske du kan blande lidt flødeskum sammen med nogle skefulde? Med ved ikke om det også bare vil blive tyndt uden at smage af så meget.
