Hi,

A friend has given me a big pot of single cream that has gone out of date, but on checking it is fine, and I was thinking of making some sauces with it and then freezing them.

If I make a cheese sauce with the cream and freeze it, will the sauce be ok when it's defrosted?

Thanks in advance!

I have done that and it was fine. I would make a bechamel - the use of flour to thicken seems to make a difference to how it freezes.
I keep some frozen plastic bags of bechamel by me.

Thank you, I'll be making that and freezing it!
