Clotted Cream

Heavy cream held at a low oven temperature until it thickens.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups heavy cream

Method

  1. Pour the cream into a shallow casserole dish; you want something that will give the cream a lot of surface area.
  2. Set the oven to 170°F; place the cream into the oven for 12 hours, uncovered.
  3. After 12 hours the cream will have developed a skin. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool to room temperature. Once cooled, cover the dish and place in the refrigerator for 8 hours.
  4. After chilled, skim the thick layer of clotted cream from the surface, leaving the thinner liquid behind.
