Serving Size: Generous ½ pint clotted cream

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 180°F (82°C) standard.

  • Pour the heavy cream into a wide, shallow baking dish about 2” deep. The large surface area will allow for a nice thick layer of clotted cream to form.

  • Place the dish in the oven and let it cook low and slow for 8 hours.

  • Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature before placing the dish in the fridge overnight or for about 8 hours.

  • The top thick layer is the clotted cream. Scrape it off and place into a jar. If the consistency is too thick for your liking, add a bit of the leftover thin, milky layer from the bottom of the dish and mix to make the clotted cream more spreadable.

  • Store the clotted cream in the refrigerator. It will keep up to 5 days. The leftover liquid can be used for making pancakes or waffles.
