custard question

Posts: 164 Forumite
Hello all.
I've just made some custard, which I was intending to turn into vanilla ice-cream by adding in some whipped cream and freezing. But I've just discovered that I've bought single cream rather than whipping cream by accident. Can I freeze the custard as it is and eat it as custard ice-cream? Or will it keep until tomorrow in the fridge? (which is when I can buy some double cream). I don't want to waste it as its rather expensive to make.
Many thanks

You can whip single (and double) cream, honest
There's a trick to it... just add about a fifth (by volume) of water to the cream and then whizz or whisk it up. Stick blenders are ideal for this.

No problem
Have a nice sit down and a cup of tea
Oh! And if you're just doing "rough sums" say you have 250mil of cream... a fifth is 50mils of water - and three tablespoons (about 45mil) will be fine.
