    I bought it for a recipe which didn't need it and now I don't know what to do with it.

    Any ideas?

    :) I would just drink it.

    Any soup with cream in is gorgeous.

    Brown some chicken, about a pound for that amount of cream, add an onion, add a little chicken stock and a spoon of english mustard then add the cream and a measure of brandy and simmer on a very low heat for 30 mins.

    Mash a couple of ripe bananas into it and make banana ice-cream.

    I would use half for a quiche lorraine with some ham, and the rest for a crumble.

    Suggested that I should move over here.

    I over bought single cream for Christmas and have two tubs of 600mls (1200mls) left over in my fridge. Best before date is 28th December but both seem fine - not smelling 'off'.

    Any ideas what I can use them for? Ideally something cooked that can be frozen for later use.

    Thanks.

    Make a white wine/mushroom cream sauce or just freeze them to cook with at a later date.

    Creamy soups freeze well. This thread has lots of ideas that should help:

    I'll add this thread to that one later to keep the ideas together.
