What would you do with 4 tubs of clotted cream?

Just picked up 4 tubs of clotted cream reduced to 14p each. Obviously I could just eat loads of scones over the next couple of days but I'm not sure thats the best plan. Any ideas on what to do with it? ice cream?

Definitely freeze and then defrost slowly in fridge

Ive just been looking and it looks like clotted cream is made by heating cream and so you can't then make butter from it. I had no idea!

Although Ive just watched a youtube video which shows that you can!

Big rice pudding in the slow cooker?

If this is something you have done before could you let me know how please x

Freeze it. Defrost at room temperature and it won’t go crumbly.

re the butter, i wonder if these you tube videos are from US, they may not have clotted cream there

We talking about food here as opposed to throwing it at people that irritate us?

Yes, I have, just a few days ago and it was scrummy! I googled 'slow cooker rice pudding recipes' and did a Good Housekeeping one. There are many clotted cream rice pud recipes too, so OP should definitely do that.

newtlover, I looked up 'make butter from clotted cream', so the recipes were from UK. We don't have clotted cream in Canada. I had to look up what it is.

I would make some ice cream, and scoff the rest. Oh, the crust is to die for 💖💖💖💖💖

Seems a waste to cook with it where you lose all the unctuous texture of it.

How do you make butter from it? It's already solid. Are you telling me that if I shake it whey will start coming out?

I would decant it all into a bowl and stick my face in it but I love clotted cream and have the table manners of a hyena.

ive seen a YouTube video which shows clotted cream being beaten and whey coming out in the same way as with double cream however other sites say that it won’t work properly because clotted cream is made by heating the cream.

Clotted cream is usually in small tubs so you won’t get a lot of butter. I bought three large double creams reduced and got six quite small pats which I salted, wrapped in grease proof and froze.

i would split the clotted cream into smaller portions and freeze, then defrost as and when needed for desserts, curries, sauces etc.

They're quite large tubs of just under 300g
