What to do with 4 pints of Double cream

beemuzed

Double cream should freeze if whipped.

Oops - sorry Weezl74 - didn't see you'd just said this!

Ooh, you are clever peeps!
Perhaps potato gratin for sunday lunch instead of normal spuds... and ice cream for afters (for three if you make it up the M4! )
thanks loads

Got a carton of double cream whoopsied to 10p ... planning on an indulgent rice pud if nothing else springs to mind but what else would you use it in?

(don't suggest cheesecake i a) don't have cream cheese and b) would eat the lot :rotfl:)

Hi,

I have some double cream that needs using up today, any ideas what I could do with it? I would rather use it for proper dinners rather than sweet things if possible.

Add it to a soup, or pasta sauce?
Add to mashed potato...or potato gratin?
You can use it in all sauces for a richness. Mushrooms, garlic and cream added to a butter and flour roux is delicious.

If you can't use it today, whip it and pipe or spoon it onto a baking sheet in small lumps and freeze. When frozen put into poly bag.

The American cook Ina Garten uses a lot of cream in her recipes. Google Ina Garten or 'Barefoot Contessa' (her TV show).

I make this recipe:

SLowly fry an onion
Add diced chicken/ pork / pork chops. and brown
Add a little brandy/calvados/perry/sweet cider.
Chuck in a finely sliced apple.
Allow to cook through.
Add cream to finish, plus a few fresh herbs e.g. parsley, chives.

Hi jackie,

I use it in soups and sauces or it's good for making butter or freezing:

Can I freeze cream?

There's an earlier thread with lots more ideas so I've added your thread to it to keep the suggestions together.

Hi,
We've just had a family celebration and have a lot of (double) cream left over! We need suggestions for things to make with cream which can be frozen.
Thanks.
