Whipping cream to use up. Ideas?

cam101

Cooking a 3 course meal for parents tomorrow night, everything sorted except desert. We have a large pot of whipping cream that didn't get used boxing day, and hope to incorporate this in tomorrow's desert. Any ideas?

I'm popping to Asda in the morning, so can pick up any ingredients I may need.

Thanks in advance for any waste-saving ideas!

ice cream made with strawberries and crushed meringue - frozen in a cling film lined bowl, then popped out and sliced - easy and tasted fab!

Also, I made cholcolate parfait for xmas day which is a sort of frozen chocolate mousse. I used whipped cream, butter, egg yolks and melted plain chocolate and it was really tasty - very velvety. I'm sure you could easily find a recipe on the internet.

Have fun!

This is a very nice dessert. Amareto biscuits, frozen raspberries, honey, fromage frais. Whip the cream and add the fromage frais. Layer the broken biscuits, raspberries, honey and cream mixture in individual wine glasses.

I find using the cream alone is rather rich but adding the fromage frais makes it lighter. If available you can soak the biscuits in some Amareto liquer.

Hope this helps

Nigella did something about Mont blanc, I think it was whipped cream, crushed meringues, something else and dusted with icing sugar, a sort of variation on Eton mess but looked better.
This weekend I used the recipe for 'very boozy pudding' which was given on here a while ago, here it is again . Everybody loved it. I whipped quark as well as cream and added a bit of sugar to it. I also used a bit of cream between the biccies to stick them together.
very simple very boozy pudding
Get a couple of packs of decent chocolate chip cookies
DIP them into sherry for a couple of seconds and then pile into a log shape. Whip some fresh cream with creme fraiche and just spread over it. Crumble a flake or two

I'm planning an an apple charlotte ( stewed apple layered up with breadcrumbs browned in the frying pan with some sugar for added crunch, topped with whipped cream). You could also make meringues? If it's a large pot you could have some tomorrow, soured with a spoon of lemon-juice and make beef stroganoff?

Nigella's Lemon Ice Cream - dead easy to make, a hit with visitors - I have friends who ask me to make it for when they come round - no one believes me when I say that I can make this ice cream in 10 minutes and then put it in the freezer and forget about it: here is the link

Hi

The 'something' else in Mont Blanc is chestnut puree, you can buy it canned in some supermarket or make your own if you have some chestnuts (boil them in the skin, then peel and mash them - add a bit of sugar if you want but they are already naturally sweet).

I LOVE the stuff, in Italy they sell it ready made in patisseries and I really miss it - but my hips and thighs don't hehehe

Happy New Year

Thanks for all of those delicious ideas, I have bought a variety of things including meringue, almond thins, raspberries... and hope to use some of the above ideas to sort of layer them all up. I might do it in my big wine glasses to make it look really nice!

Happy New Year
