    Could i make a sauce with it and then freeze the sauce ?

    If so any recipes for a sauce ?
    It's not paranoia if they really are after you.

    I love making guacamole with avocado, salsa and creme fraiche but a tub is too big and altho i can use it for other things, i wondered if it can be frozen?

    Thanks :)
  • You can :D It might separate on defrosting, but a quick stir should deal with that ;)

    There's an older thread here with more ideas for you; I'll merge this one later.

    Who told you you can't freeze cream? Double cream freezes well; single not so well due to lower fat content. It can separate on defrosting, so I stir it into sauces and it's fine :)

  • Really???

    This is amazing news... what about Elmlea??? Can I freeze that???

    I am all excited! I keep using half a pot and trying to convince my husband to use the second half in coffee (which he pretends to do by tipping it down the sink!!)

  • Buttermilk cream substitute...

    'Elmlea is the real alternative to cream, and has a number of advantages. First of all, Elmlea lasts a lot longer than cream. In fact, if unopened, it can stay in the fridge for up to eight weeks without going off. It's versatile too, and has at least 30% less fat than the cream equivalent - the light varieties contain at least 50% less fat than Double or Single cream'

    'Elmlea is a blend of buttermilk and vegetable oils and is classified as a dairy cream alternative (DCA)'
