After a glorious birthday cream tea yesterday I've realised I've overestimated just how much clotted cream I would need and have a veritable dairy of leftovers. The scones are all gone and the rest of the strawberries won't be ripe til next week, so anyone got any recipes or ideas with what I can do with a large tub of Rodda's finest?

More scones. Or make ice cream.

Clotted cream freezes no problem. Just pop it in the freezer until the strawberries are ready.

That is incredibly valuable info thank you so much

I suppose using it to smite one or more of your enemies is out of the question?

A good film, a spoon and some shame to bury deep, deep down beneath all that delicious cream.

Grab a spoon and eat it straight out the pot 😅

Use it in a curry! Especially for something like Butter Chicken. Once you've got to the stage of making the gravy, add your clotted cream and let it cook down with all the spices. Adds a wonderful buttery element to the curry.

Mmmm some nice creamy pasta sounds like a good treat. I'll definitely have a look at those recipes, cheers!

Prepare for the coming tarmac-melting weather by making homemade clotted cream ice-cream.

Can I borrow your ice cream maker? Every time I've tried to hand whisk ice cream it's turned into a crystalline (but still tasty) mess.

I have no suggestions (well I do, but it's more scones, 'cos I bloody love scones). Just wanted to congratulate you on the post title. Well played.
