I have two containers of heavy cream that I bought for a recipe I decided not to make. Now I need to do something with them. Any ideas? Not a cheesecake, because I already have two cheesecakes plus a cheese braid. Anything sweet or savory would be good.

On the subject of heavy whipping cream...I bought some the other day and opened it last night. It seems to not be spoiled, but the texture is extremely thick (it wouldn't pour at first, until I stirred it around) and granular. It seems that it has begun to turn to butter. Is that possible? The bottle says that it's homogenized, which I thought meant that it can't make butter. Would it have been caused by being shaken in a delivery truck or possibly by freezing in the store?

Any ideas for a recipe to use it up? If not, I guess it can become a kids' experience in making butter. The poster who suggested making butter l'chatchila: Is there anything that needs to be done to it besides simple shaking? Any suggestions for separating the solid from liquid?

Heavy cream + a little melted butter + any grated hard cheese = yummy yummy pasta sauce

If you want to be lazy like me, you put the butter in a big pot and let it melt, then toss in your pasta and stir. Then you add the cream and grated cheese and stir over a low flame until it makes a nice thick sauce.

and for the record... heavy cream freezes beautifully. so if you don't want to use it now, just freeze and save for a different time.

Whipping cream... 32% or 38% fat.

Cooking cream is like 15% fat.

Are you sure? I tried freezing heavy cream once and when defrosted it was solid fat and clear liquid. I couldn't get it to anything usable, even cooking it didn't get it back to anything like cream!

In the US, the heavy cream (J&J I believe) is sold frozen in a lot of groceries during the year. It's available fresh Shavuos time, during the 3 weeks, maybe Chanuka as well.

I've frozen heavy cream many times so I would just freeze it but if not I'd make vodka sauce which also freezes nicely.

To make butter , simply pour cream in a blender & process for 5 min or so. First it will get thick & then separate. Pour off the butter milk & squeeze out as much liquid as possible .

My crustless mushroom quiche calls for heavy cream, although I use light cream.

Sautee a chopped onion in butter. Add a package of mushrooms, sliced, and saute. Allow to cool, then add 3 eggs, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 cup shredded mozzarella/cheddar mixed cheese. Bake one hour at 350.

Its in the oven now.

My mouth watereth over.

I convinced dh to have a milchige seuda the first night. Very Happy So I used half a container on a pot of creamed mushrooms before I saw your response, Barbara. The other half I'm going to use for milchige vermicelle, which will send dh halfway to heaven. The other container I'd like to use for penne alla vodka. Anyone have a good recipe? Or maybe fettucine Alfredo....
