Double cream substitute?

[willthatbeall]

I'm making a sauce for Mary berry's sticky toffee pudding but my double cream has gone off. Can I substitute for anything else? More milk? Cornflour?

Can't think of anything that would work, full fat milk at a push and you could thicken it up with some cornflour but consistency would be slightly off and taste definitely not the same. Any condensed milk in the press? There are other recipes for caramel/toffee sc that use condensed milk, if you have it swap to one of them. Is the cream actually gone off or just out of date? Anytime I have out of date cream that still smells ok I make toffee sauce with it :)

I agree with pp, if it’s out of date but still smells fine it will be okay to use. I can’t imagine milk & cornflour working /tasting quite the same.

I make dauphinois potatoes if I haven’t got around to using the cream before the BB date, if it isn’t sour it will be fine.

If cooking it it depends how gone off you mean - if just on the turn I would still use it.

You can make a thinner sauce with milk.

Thanks all the cream was definitely out of action. It had been opened (without my knowledge) and could have walked itself out the door.

I had a change of plan and made the Jamie Oliver lemon curd pudding instead - which was horrible!
