How to make Clotted Cream
August 01, 2022
Making clotted cream on stovetop is much easier and faster than the traditional way of slow bake in the oven.

I had a chance to taste clotted cream with scones at the Shard in London, few years back.
Clotted cream served by the Shard was so smooth and velvety.
Seriously, I do not have the patience!
And I found this quick way to make clotted cream and ready to use the next day, after few hours in the fridge (preferably overnight in the fridge).

Step 1 : Melt butter and heat up with cream in a thick base pot.

Step2 : cook on low heat until the cream mixture thickened.

Step 3: Pour the cream mixture into a square dish.
I used an 8 inch by 8 inch Pyrex glass dish.
Refrigerate ovenight.

Smooth and ready to use clotted cream.

Hence clotted cream is much denser than whipping cream.
And I am using my clotted cream to bake cookies (coming soon :D)
