out of date double cream

[eeky]

I ordered too much double cream on Ocado by mistake, so now have 1 and half pints which is 3 days out of date.

Even I wouldn't eat it uncooked now, even though smells ok. Don't really want to use it in anything sweet like custard either.

Any suggestions for using it up? Can I make my own cream cheese with it? Have googled lemon posset recipe, this might be ok as the cream sort of curdles anyway in it?

use it to make butter? There was a thread with the instructions on mumsnet recently.

It'll be fine if it smells okay.

Make ice cream.

1 and a half pints wouldn't last long in this house.

here is the butter recipe

yes if it smells ok it will be fine...

dip your finger in and taste... then you will know

what about stirring it into rice pudding (yum) and hot chocolqte with cream in and on!

and pasta sauce

Cream of [whatever] soup?

Honestly if it smells ok, it's fine

Freeze it?

Usually if it hasnt been opened then mine can last up to 2 weeks. The dates are only a guide and make us spend more. People used to exist before the nanny state of dates.
