Rice pudding?

TheEmojiFormerlyKnownAsPrince · 21/06/2020 13:06

A spoon and the tub.

Spoon into mouth.

Marmaladey · 21/06/2020 13:06

Make more scones? You can also freeze it if you have loads. Or make icecream?

Still reeling from the concept of “using up” clotted cream. It’s nectar from the Gods themselves.

TooGood2BeTrue · 21/06/2020 13:08

What TheEmoji said. Or forget the spoon and just lick it out.

Ragwort · 21/06/2020 13:08

Just eat it - with strawberries.

It freezes really well.

muckandnettles · 21/06/2020 13:09

A big blob on ice cream!

IHaveBrilloHair · 21/06/2020 13:11

Ha, I came to advise that all you need is a spoon too!Grin

Redcrayons · 21/06/2020 13:13

You’re doing scones wrong if you’ve got leftover clotted cream.

Get yourself a big spoon and go for it.

I used mine up making lemonade scones. It's just self raising flour, lemonade (or sprite, 7 up or whatever) and cream.

They don't rise very much but are delicious- keep some of the cream to have with them

Also I have used up whipped cream by mashing into potatoes Smile

NutshellBound · 21/06/2020 14:28

What was I thinking! I can eek this out at a couple of spoons a day and have now been enabled by Mumsnet to do so. It's a huge tub best before Tuesday Grin

Yeah I would just go straight for a spoon.

Failing that scones and jam.

Powerplant · 21/06/2020 17:50

Tiddy pasty absolutely gorgeous a Devon tradition. So slices of potato and onion on a pastry base then blobs of clotted cream, season add pastry top then bake in the oven it’s delicious hot or cold

StarScream22 · 21/06/2020 17:55

Creamy pasta

FawnDrench · 21/06/2020 18:27

Some lovely recipes from bbc recipes here

hedgehogger1 · 21/06/2020 18:44

Just eat it with a spoon

thisstooshallpass · 21/06/2020 18:46

Why is it only Rhoddas you can buy at supermarkets? No supermarket own brands or cheaper versions. I googled how to make my own, it was easy but an incredible waste of energy (oven on very very low for a long long time)

TheEmojiFormerlyKnownAsPrince · 21/06/2020 18:48

I would not wasted clotted cream in savoury items!

Just had Eton Mess. Yum

Quickerthanavicar · 21/06/2020 18:52

a spoon

BillywigSting · 21/06/2020 18:53

Clotted cream in pasta is a colosal waste.

Have with some berries sprinkled with sugar and left 15 minutes.

Buy more scones?

Cranachan? Bit early for good raspberries mind you

TrobadoraBeatrice · 21/06/2020 18:56

Definitely in rice pudding! Just stir in a huge spoonful at the end of cooking on the hob, or there are a few recipes online for baked rice pudding with clotted cream.

Cummingsandgoings · 21/06/2020 18:56

I've made fudge from the Rhoddas website before to use up a couple of tubs I bought for 9p each in Asda. Only thing is, when you see what goes into fudge you can never eat it without guilt again!

Also any scone, muffin or cake recipe that has greek yoghurt, milk, creme fraiche, sour cream as an ingredient would probably work fine with clotted cream if you really do just want to use it up - just give it a bit of a stir and slacken off with a small slosh of milk.

Might also be nice on top of porridge with a sprinkle of brown sugar - maybe fresh raspberries too.

Spooned on top of home-made mushroom soup?

TheEmojiFormerlyKnownAsPrince · 21/06/2020 19:25

I bought raspberries from Tesco for my Eton Mess.

They were really sweet and plump! Gorgeous

Shannith · 21/06/2020 19:46

Make Mary Berry's drop scones - super quick and fool proof - and eat warm with the clotted cream and jam.

An accidental and life-changing recent experience.

Also works well with bog standard pancakes with a bit of sugar added into the mix, I rolled them up with the cream and strawberry jam. Amazing!
