It'll last longer than Tuesday OP.

I forgot there was a tub at the back of the fridge Shock (I know) supposedly 2 weeks out of date.
It really wasn't!
Don't mix it with anything- just eat it!

It’s good with hot cross buns, it’s good with jam on toast, it’s great on brioche, you can put it in a sandwich with golden syrup or treacle (what they call thunder’n’lightning in Cornwall). It’s bleddy ‘ansum stuff

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!

I bought raspberries from Tesco for my Eton Mess.

They were really sweet and plump! Gorgeous

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?

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.

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

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)

Yeah I would just go straight for a spoon.

Failing that scones and jam.

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

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

You’re doing scones wrong if you’ve got leftover clotted cream.
Get yourself a big spoon and go for it.

Just eat it - with strawberries.

It freezes really well.
