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?

@FlamingoAndJohn that's an interesting fact! Does that mean you should avoid is while pregnant, as with unpasteurized cheese?

it's lovely in carbonara style pasta, I use this recipe. you can also use it in this hotpot recipe. this thread is making me want a scone...

On meringues with warmed up frozen fruit

It’ll last weeks in the fridge, there’s no rush

@ThursdayLastWeek not in my house it doesn't. Lovely on ice cream, and also with chopped up banana with a bit of sugar.

Warm scones, strawberry jam..and the biggest spoonful you can get on it

Drools

Strictly dairy free..sob
I miss this the most

I quite like it with jam on a cream cracker!

Add it to curry sauce or use it in a particularly indulgent pie.

It's bloody delicious in cauliflower cheese or mutter paneer

It’s surprisingly good on a hot cross bun. It also freezes quite well so you could just pop it in the freezer if you don’t want to use it now

It's also ok* on pancakes with, oh, I don't know, just about anything - jam, maple syrup, fruit compote, bananas, ice cream.
I remember as a child we used to holiday in a little Cornish fishing village and the local shop, The Cove Stores, would do you a cone of proper Cornish ice cream with a dollop of clotted cream on top.
Now that was how to eat clotted cream.
*absolutely divine.

I got a curry recipe in my Gousto box last week that used clotted cream - I was very sceptical but it was lovely!

It's also very good indeed melting oozily over a hot Sticky Toffee Pudding.
DS calls it Pudding Butter.

Fettucine Alfredo - look up Orlando Murrin's recipe on BBC Good Food.

You could just freeze it until you need it?

Tiramisu? Apparently mascarpone is basically clotted cream.

Put it on top of a baileys hot chocolate

Or make a ginger pudding

Bread, golden syrup, clotted cream. Called "Thunder and Lightning" in Cornwall. And no calories.

Rabbit clotted cream is cooked.

Make some shortbread (my failsafe recipe attached) and add fruit.

Mix with garlic, parsley and a bit of lemon juice and serve dolloped on chicken escalopes for a home made chicken Kiev (ish).

I’d buy some berries. Frozen will be fine. Put them in a pan with a bit of sugar so they’re warm and squishy. Eat with clotted cream. Yum. Easy. Healthy. (Berries, so must be, right? )

@RhymingRabbit3 unpasteurised cheese is fine in pregnancy as long as it’s hard cheese

I use clotted cream in curries

You can freeze it, it defrosts perfectly.

I would put my finger in the pot every time I went to the fridge.
