uh oh, i bought too much cream!

Call me silly, but i dont know why i bought the 1 litre cream at walmart!
My mum uses it with in 2 days because she makes cappucino with it,
But now i opened it yesterday for the pork cream sauce
and now i have no idea what to do with the rest?

Anyone can give me suggestions?

there are a lot of delicious desserts that are made with large amounts of cream, look up the recipe for "lava cake" it calls for cream and is devine!

do you have kids? Let them make butter. Just put the cream half full into a jar, baby food jars work well and shake, fast for about 3 minutes. it will start seperating, keep shaking, and before you know it you will have a big ball of butter. Take it out, drain it and salt it, yum.

don't know sorry Fwan - except ICE CREAM!!!! . You can make yummy ice cream.

How do you drink your coffee? How about some fresh fruit (strawberries?) in cream? Or a "gratin" (cooked vegetables like cauliflower and broccoli covered with cream and grated cheese, and "browned" in the oven)? Chicken fricassee served with rice or potatoes? Creamed spinach, carrots, corn, etc.? Scalloped potatoes? Mashed potatoes made with cream rather than milk?
My tip: Go to your local supermarket and have a look at the "Maggi Fix" packets - many of them have recipes requiring cream.

You can whip it, whip it good, with powdered sugar, and put it on just about anything... brownies, cakes, pies, in coffee.

You can also use it on your bod, cream (heavy cream) is very good for your skin! Just like people take milk baths, you can use cream. Just mix some cream in with honey and pour it into your bathtub. Soak a long time.

My momma gave me some heavy cream she accidentally bought, so I was in the same boat as you... it was a half pint I think? Anyways I whipped & added the sugar to some of it for 'stuff' and used some in a bath, kept the rest for coffee. Oh and Snickers gets some, I add a little water to it and he gets just a tad on a plate.

i will do that tomorrow! i just saw an add for the pasta bake maggi mix so i might try it, but i think the broccoli and cauliflower will be better with the cream now i just gotta think of what to serve it with hehe

Maybe you can make a "beard" of cream or spread the cream on your legs and shave you both cases! ..

Sorry I couldn´t resist!!!

I serve a cucumber, tomato or mixed salad with gratins. We only eat meat once or twice a week, so we often have vegetarian meals.

i didnt know that people could now figure out from my typing that my legs are hairy

... .....

why dont you ask Teufel?? I'm sure that he can give you all KINDS of useful suggestions :-)

I mean, I'm pretty sure that a kitty would know exactly how to handle extra cream

oh i know but thats WAY TOO MUCH and he would get very sick
ive only used not even a 1/4 of it!

Whatever meat you cook for dinner, add a little liqueur and lots of cream and reduce to make a wonderful sauce to go over the meat when you serve it. I do this with Pork Tenderloin medallions, Filet Mignon steaks - you get the idea. My husband loves it. I use Calvados with Pork and Brandy or Calvados with beef.

Another thing I made once that was nice was mashed potatoes with shredded cheddar cheese that you put in a casserole then cover the top with whipped cream and bake at a very low temperature (about 200 degrees F) for almost an hour or until the top puffs up and turns golden brown.

My vote is for ice cream! You can make a really yummy alfredo sauce using cream, butter, romano, pepper, and a bit of nutmeg with a base of onions and garlic cooked down in oil. There's also this really great sauce we make for chicken breasts with cream, mustard, tarragon, pepper, and the same base above.

Or make some cream soups. Cream of broccoli, tomato etc............

this thread is making me verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry hungry!

ohh my gosh

well tomorrow i had planned to use bolognese with cream and tomato sauce
and i will get broccoli and cauliflower and oven it with the cream and use the rest of the cream for the soup... guess im going to get fat!

Your idea for the brocolli and cauliflower has given me an idea for dinner tonight. That sounds really good!
