What can I do with clotted cream?

[Sparklycrystals]

We’ve been given a big pot of it and we’re not planning on having the kind of pudding you’d serve it with anytime soon so is there anything I can make with it?

Teaspoon and an expression of bliss?

Cranachan

Eat it straight from the pot .....at midnight

Put them on the freshly made scones that you now need to make!

Bake scones, serve warm filled with a dollop of clotted team and treacle. Lovely

@RJnomore1 I have actually just done that but that needs to be nipped in the bud sharpish

You can use it like normal cream if you don't want to have it with pudding - mix into pasta or mashed potato

If you have no time or inclination to make/ buy scones so you can have scones, jam and cream, a jam sandwich liberally spread with clotted cream is good.

Or a jam toastie ( left for a while to cool as the jam gets very hot) with cream on the side not in the toasted sandwich) is a quick pudding to.use up the cream.

Just googled Cranachan, looks lovely but we don’t like Whisky. I could attempt scones but mine tend to come out like biscuits

Scones for sure.

Liking the idea of an indulgent potato dish. Could I put it in a dauphinoise or would it be too clumpy?

You can do all sorts, although the best thing is on scones (jam first as long as the clotted cream is proper Cornish) or on splits (sweet rolls) with treacle which is known as thunder and lightning.

You can serve it with a dessert or in one, but if you like to bake you can make clotted cream shortbread.

If you want a savoury option then some swear by a dollop of clotted cream in a pasty instead of butter to moisten in cooking.

Go to the home of clotted cream, Roddas, as their website at roddas.co.uk/recipes have loads of recipes using clotted cream, both sweet and savoury.

These are my go to scone recipes. Haven't failed me yet.

Trifle, in coffee, hot chocolate, fruit milkshakes/smoothies, clotted cream ice-cream ...

Thanks for the scone recipes! I like the idea of making ice cream

I’ll look on the Rodda’s site thanks

It's lovely on porridge

Imo, whether mashed or dauphinoise, it would be wasted in a potato dish.

Divide into usable portions, or into a couple of ice cube trays, and freeze it until you decide what to make, but be sure to use some to make fudge - 'tis sinful but heavenly.

Mary Berry’s luxury fruit scones recipe except I double the amount of fruit and use half the milk she uses. Always great

Rice pudding! Oh lord it makes amazing rice pudding.

Also, did you know that you can’t buy clotted cream in the USA? This is because clotted cream has to be made from unpasteurised milk and that is outlawed in the USA.

Eat off the spoon

Make rice pudding with it in

Put it in porridge

make scones and load them up

Ice cream

It’s outrageous in Eton mess. But otherwise yes, straight off a spoon. Very good with sticky toffee pudding.

Any cooked recipe which uses double cream could probably have clotted cream substituted, maybe with an extra splash of milk. Something like pasta sauce. The heat would melt the cream anyway so it would just become liquid like normal double cream.

Spread it on those little Scotch pancakes. Have it on crumpets and drizzle with honey, or dark treacle which is even better.
