BarbaraJ Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I don't use cream much as not a fan of it on its own but have some left over from my lunch for 22 on Sunday and don't want to throw it needs to be used by Monday? i did wonder if choc mousse used single cream but have never made it so no idea!

Chook n Boo Mum Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Lightly fry off some onions, mushrooms, bacon, (anything really!) add the cream, but don't boil it! Serve with pasta & green salad - yummy! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chooks Aloud Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I make mousse with single cream. Put the cream in saucepan with one bar of dark chocolate (70% being the minimum cocoa content) and gently heat until melted. Then just pour into very small containers and put in the fridge. Once set, decorate top with half a cherry or whatever you have in your cupboard. Whenever I'm entertaining I tend to make a couple of puds and this is always one that goes down very well indeed. Make sure you only put it in very small containers, as they are very rich. Karen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Cooo, when's your next dinner party CA? I'll be there for a choc mousse! I daren't make it here, as I'd eat the lot - no matter how rich it is !!! Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAB Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Back in the day I would have just supped it out the pot with a spoon! Glad I indulged when I could as now lactose intolerant - I never liked milk anyway, but gosh I miss cream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Any excess cream in this house gets added to the lovely rice pudding recipe posted by Surferdog here to replace some of the milk. When it's made with Muscovado sugar, it's absolutely divine too................mmmmmmm . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy chickens! Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 If you don't get to around to using it up quickly and it goes off...... then make scones! No seriously, my mum passed the tip on, just mix it half and half with the milk and you get really great scones, honest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chooks Aloud Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that!! It must be our upbringing, as my mum used to do the same. The things people waste and chuck away - when they could be used to make something tasty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I made mushroom soup with the left over cream I had and it was absolutely delicious even though I say it myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunshinesupernova Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I put lemon juice in milk to sour it for scones - so yes - I'd do that too.. OR Some butter, sugar plus the cream and make a glorious butterscotch sauce (with some booze if you fancy) and have with bananas and icecream ?
