I once tried freezing double cream. When I defrosted it, it had turned yellow and was all hard and lumpy???Save the earth, it's the only planet with chocolate!0

Well there are several threads on the subject but here is one
Personally I tend to buy double cream and when I use the cream I usually whip it a bit and then use for cooking... seems to work for me Dunno what the result would be if you tried to whip it or use it outside of cooked dishes...

I think you have to whip cream to a soft peak consistency to freeze it and get good results - I've always meant to try this and open freeze some piped 'rosettes' to freeze......Please forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0

I whipped my cream, then put some back in the pot it came in with the lid on and froze it. The other half got eaten as normal.An average day in my life:hello: :eek::mad: :coffee::coffee::coffee::T

I was in Waterstones yesterday with my £25 worth of vouchers looking for a fix to my recipe book adiction. Anyway I picked up a Womens Institute book, as it happens the page I read was about freezing cream. Its a sign! Anyway there advice is to freeze it into ice cube trays. Transfer to freezer bags when frozen. Then when making soups, just chuck a few into the pot as needed.SIMPLE SIMON - Met a pie man going to the fair. Said Simple Simon to the pie man, "What have you got there?" Said the pie man unto Simon, "Pies, you simpleton!"0
