English double cream

(Guardian of the bacon) #1

I found double cream imported from England. What do I do with it?

#2

Same ways as you would use whipping cream or heavy cream , fat content is just higher - can be close to 50%. Deliciousness!

Spoon. Mouth.

I use it in place of whipped cream, or even replacement for sour cream.

Double cream (unstirred) in coffee is one of (my) life’s greatest pleasures.

Double cream on berries is another from my past life.

I can drink the stuff straight from the carton. :smile:

How much do they charge for it where you are. In the UK a pint of double cream is about US$1.80 equivalent.

I’m with @AnnaLeeMI - spooning with some vanilla is my guilty pleasure

Start the hunt for clotted cream. It will blow your Fricking (pun intended) mind!

I think @Barbara_Greenwood might agree:

  • Open carton
  • Tilt head slightly
  • Pour
  • Repeat
  • Enjoy

:laughing:

Seriously though, where did you find it? Since you’re in the US, others here might be able to request a local retailer to order it. I doubt a larger chain would do it, but we have some smaller specialty stores in the area and I could see them ordering some…

You people are killing me! I’m doing Dairy Free April!

@Jacquie, help! I’m feeling weak! :smiling_imp:

I can’t eat it either! Well I can, but I will not feel great. I miss cream but it has been fine. I only eat zero carb cheese now and have a surprisingly plentiful assortment to choose from so all good.

Don’t give in! Hey, aren’t you fasting? :wink:

Just at my local small town grocer. Was pricey at $3.99 for a 6oz jar. Devon is the brand name.

(bulkbiker) #14

Do you know who makes it? I have never heard that brand name here in the UK…

No need to hunt for clotted cream in the store. You can easily make it at home. And it will save you lots of money, too.

Well their website doesn’t work…and their facebook page was last updated 2012.
Never seen it here but who knows…

It’s amazing with eggs!

Maybe I got a knockoff product?
