American Substitute For Clotted Cream Recipes

EASY CLOTTED CREAM

Steps:

• Using a whisk attachment on the mixer, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Remove from mixer, and hand whisk in the sour cream and confectioners' sugar until just combined. Store in refrigerator.

MOCK CLOTTED CREAM SUBSTITUTE

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese, sugar and sour cream in a small bowl.
• Beat until fluffy.
• Add the almond extract and milk to thin a bit.
• Blend well.
• Allow to set at room temperature for 30 minutes before serving.
• Makes enough for about a dozen scones.

CLOTTED CREAM

Steps:

• Set a coffee filter basket, lined with a filter, in a strainer, over a bowl. Pour the cream almost to the top of the filter. Refrigerate for 2 hours. The whey will sink to the bottom passing through the filter leaving a ring of clotted cream. Scrape this down with a rubber spatula and repeat every couple of hours until the mass reaches the consistency of soft cream cheese.

CLOTTED CREAM

Steps:

• Heat the cream in a heavy sauté pan and gently on the lowest heat for 5-6 hours, by which time it will have a rich, deep-yellow, wrinkled crust (use a diffuser mat if necessary). The cream must not boil or simmer.
• Let the cream cool overnight, but preferably not in a fridge (I leave it in a cold pantry).
• Next day, lift off the crust, or "clout" as my Cornish son-in-law calls it. Spoon the cream into sterilized glass jars, cover, and store in the fridge. The clotted cream is on top; thick cream left over when the clotted cream is removed can be used as heavy cream and it keeps for ages-several weeks at least.
• If your stove doesn't go low enough, then put the cream into an earthenware bowl, set it in a bain-marie, and proceed as above.

DEVONSHIRE CLOTTED CREAM SUBSTITUTE

Steps:

• mix geatine with boiling water until clear
• mix into sour cream
• whip cream and sugar and vanilla and lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon creme de cassis if you want beat into soft peaks
• DONT OVERBEAT.
• fold in sour cream mixture at low speed just until incorperated.

FAUX CLOTTED CREAM

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine all but the whipping cream. Stir well.
• Add unwhipped whipping cream.
• Beat with a mixer until it's stiff. It should have the texture of bowl margarine or softened butter. Store in refrigerator. (But there won't be any left to store!) I've never used anything but whipping cream for this recipe and also always use brand name of Philadelphia Cream Cheese. I tried the store brand once and it didn't taste as rich. I don't think cool whip would work with this recipe, either.
