You can make your own Creme Fraiche instead of buying it. This will be a lot cheaper and ingredients are easy to find.
Makes 1 cup
1/3 cup sour cream or buttermilk
2/3 cup heavy 35% cream
Combine ingredients in a clean glass jar, cover with plastic food wrap and rest overnight at room temperature for 24-36 hours, or until set. Drain any liquid that has separated; refrigerate when set.
Keeps well, refrigerated for up to 10 days.
Note: You would be better off making it with the sour cream as there is less carbs.
My carb caculations are: With the sour cream 5g
With the buttermilk 6.3g
Instead of making it into a sweet treat, you can also add things like chives, dill or feathery greens to make a dip for veggies or maybe fish.
