    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.

    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)'
