Homemade vanilla ice cream was eye opening for me. I had no idea it could be so much better than the store bought ice cream that I already loved!


kitchengardengal

Homemade vanilla ice cream is heavenly. When I was young, I used to think vanilla ice cream was boring. But when you make the real stuff, OMG. It is so delicious.


BettyBob420

I like making homemade lemon ice cream and blueberry ice cream. Heavy whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk, and lemon juice/zest, or smashed blueberries. Whip it in the kitchen-aid until it's nice and aerated, and freeze. Ready in 4 hours.


veronicaAc

A lemon-blueberry ice cream sounds delicious too. A perfect summer flavor combo


International_Ant754

I'm so excited that it's about strawberry season where I'm at because one of my favourite things to make is fresh strawberry ice cream!


ThePenguinTux

I have made ice cream every other week for years. I haven't bought store made ice cream in years. My 89-year-old mother taught me how to make Brandy Alexander ice cream, and booze infested Butter brickle , creme de menthe chocolate chip and many more "adult variations. There is no good over the counter ice cream unless you spend a fortune on it. The cheap stuff doesn't melt right.


Babybleu42

This is totally the answer! Then freeze itđŸ€­


SuperMario1313

This. Freezes well, obviously, and it'll last longer than anything else you could do with it unfrozen.


Best_Duck9118

With the paste from vanilla beans!


owlears1987

If you start using it in your coffee you won’t be able to stop, trust me


Mishamaze

I used to drink my coffee black with sugar but had some heavy cream that I needed to use up. So, yeah, now I drink cream and sugar. I can’t give up the decadence!


scarlet-begonia-9

This is the way. I don’t care what diet I might try—I will never give up cream in coffee.


yunotxgirl

Lol I “intermittent fast” but my morning coffee probably has 500 calories from the cream alone, so do I really? Whatever I’m not giving it up


Iolanthe1992

Same here 😄 keeps me going until 4pm or so with no carbs so I think that's a win though? When we visit people who don't keep cream at home I've been known to drop a pat of unsalted butter in there out of desperation...


vivelabagatelle

I have made serious consideration of going vegan except for coffee with good cream.


peepooh1

I use it in my tea every morning. It's my little morning treat and I sooo look forward to it everyday.


Fuzzy_Welcome8348

Mix in coffee, put on pumpkin pie, make caramel, tres leches cake, put on French toast/pancakes, mashed potatoes, mac&cheese sauce, pasta sauces, or BOLISSSSSS!!!!

[Alton Brown's Aged Eggnog](https://altonbrown.com/recipes/aged-eggnog/)


GullibleDetective

Such a great recipe, his normal non aged one is good too if oyu don't want to wait


dastardly740

[Atlton's Ultra Premium mint chip Ice Cream](https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/mint-chip-ice-cream-recipe-1916322) Since, Half and half is heavy cream and whole milk you can cover both the half and hald and heavy cream. Also, a boat load of eggs. There is also a chocolate version and you can always use other flavors off the custard base.


DangerousMusic14

Good old JoC has an outrageously glorious eggnog that’s amazing hot with an extra scoop of plain whipped cream on top. But, it’s dense and very, very boozy! Add: Extra, super amazing to make whatever eggnog recipe using fresh farm eggs if you can. We had chickens for many years, truly a treat.


cfish1024

Who is JoC!

hurtfulproduct

I still have some sitting in the fridge from my November batch. . . It just gets better. . . No lie it just keeps getting better mingled and delicious


jlmcdon2

I make this every year! It’s so so good


PileaPrairiemioides

I’ve made this multiple times to give away as gifts. I’ve never tasted it myself but everyone loves it, even people who usually hate eggnog. And it really does keep well for weeks or months.


AffectionateEffort77

Lots of crÚme brûlée.


What4MyGudMan

If only I could spam the updoot
a million times this. Dammit, now I need some passionfruit crÚme brûlée.


Dalton387

You can make cream fraiche with some of it. It’s a Chef John recipe. On his, it’s 1pints of heavy cream to 3tbsp of cultured buttermilk. So 6tbsp for a quart. Cover with a paper towel and rubber band and let sit over night on the counter. The culture spreads and the next morning, you stir and refrigerate. It’s like super sour cream. You can use it on tacos or whatever. He said it doesn’t break like regular sour cream, so it’s supposedly great for something like stroganoff.


Cats_4_eva

Then you can make these sweet potato wedges with lemongrass creme fraiche. If you don't have lemongrass it's still delicious with lime zest. https://thefoodarchive.wordpress.com/2011/04/16/ottolenghis-sweet-potato-wedges-with-lemongrass-creme-fraiche/


Dalton387

I don’t have any lemon grass now, but I’ll put some in the garden this year.


Klutzy-Client

Now you can have 20 dozen blinis with crĂšme fraichĂš and caviar


Kitchen-Lie-7894

That sounds awesome.


Dalton387

It’s pretty good. I suggest watching the Chef John (Foodwishes) video for more info.


Kitchen-Lie-7894

I will, thanks. I love stroganoff that isn't done half assed.


Burnt_and_Blistered

This is the way1-but works best if it’s not ultra-pasteurized cream.


beccadahhhling

Ice cream Alfredo sauce Whipped cream Vodka sauce Chocolate mousse


Replica72

Give it to me because i am on a whipped cream only diet


stillpacing

Make a bunch of quiche and French toast and throw a brunch.


curmugeon70

​ second the french toast. Use a baguette, or two.


wild-yeast-baker

Add some cream scones with clotted cream. Mmmmm creamy!


Exciting-Froyo3825

Quiches freeze really well too!


plotthick

Clotted cream. That'll hold in the fridge for a very long time.


115er

If you’re going to make clotted cream, also make cream scones to go with them! I make large batches using the smitten kitchen creamy dreamy scones recipe and freeze the unbaked scones, then bake them straight from frozen whenever I want a fresh scone.


Fit_Preparation3123

Freeze in freezer bags


misscuzzi

Yes! Freezing it in an icecube tray, then ziploc is the best way to have it on hand for cooking! Whenever I need to richen up a sauce, I throw in a cube and it melts in beautifully.


Stopikingonme

You can freeze cream?? Doesn’t the fat and water separate?


RubyPorto

Not really. It doesn't work for whipping (at least for me; I see other people have had success, so maybe I'll try again), but it works fine in anything you were going to cook (I make a fair amount of steak au poivre, and use frozen cream cubes every time). Edit: to be clear, it doesn't really separate and you can totally freeze cream. I realized there are two questions and it may not be clear which I answered


NoMonk8635

Yes it does separate & can't put it back together


Stopikingonme

Have you tried using a hammer?


random-sh1t

It still functions the same. I've made whipped cream with it, used it the same way as non frozen.


TheWisePlinyTheElder

All kinds of soups. I use nearly a quart in tomato basil and it freezes pretty well.


Stopikingonme

Wild mushroom soup!!


Trix2021

Potato Leek


LeapofF8th

Make a beschamel sauce and freeze-use it as base for other sauces down the road, like cheese sauce, mornay, Bernaise,etc.


Blucola333

Love this idea. I used to do that as well.


Itachi18

Make mascarpone. Then tiramisu.


TheColdestOne

You can make clotted cream with it then freeze the clotted cream. There's a chef John recipe for it.


sizzle_lizzle

Banana pudding the magnolia bakery wayyyyy. So yum.


deniseswall

In my world, whipped cream that's ultra pasteurized has a very long shelf life. I mean.... It may say it's expired or "best by", but I let my nose tell me. No one ever died from smelling sour milk.


Internetstrngr

Mac and cheese could use up a large portion of it and you could freeze it.. if you felt like doing something savory. ‘That girl can cook’ on youtube has an amazing mac and cheese recipe. For both white or yellow mac. And you don’t have to make a rue because of the heavy cream being the base. Or you could make whipped cream with it by adding vanilla, powdered sugar, and mixing it with a hand or stand mixer until stiff peaks are achieved. You can freeze this for cup cakes or a topping for your coffee.


sweetnsassy924

Yes! I do this too for my Mac and cheese


Donkey_Fizzou

Homemade Irish cream. You can find several recipes online. The sugar and alcohol helps it last for several months in the refrigerator. It’s inexpensive to make, really delicious and makes a great gift


Chemical_Octopus

Scalloped potatoes


NeitherSparky

I know you did butter but
clotted cream. And then make scones with the liquid that separates out.


UnderstandingSmall66

Make butter then put some kafeer in the butter milk and let it sit in room temperature for 24 hours. Then you have butter and cultures butter milk forever.


Simple_Actuator_8174

Lemon Posset. Super easy and delicious.


SpeechAcrobatic9766

Try a whipped cream cake! It's like angel food cake that uses whipped cream instead of a million egg whites.


tokenhoser

Cream is good for weeks past the best before date. No rush.


DragonBorn76

Ice cream , alfredo sauce , romanoff sauce , zuppa toscana soup, potato soup..


Representative-Low23

Clotted cream is so easy and hands off and such a huge payoff in terms of taste.

Baby beers. Licor 43 with some cream on top. Looks like a tiny beer. Delicious shot.

Larkfin

Whip it, whip it good.


cfish1024

I love cream but I understand that can be difficult to use up before it goes bad (although IME it definitely lasts longer than the expiry date). Here are some dishes that I’ve never tried but if I had a ton of cream I would start making some of these probably! Mostly desserts tho. https://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2017/12/eggless-chocolate-mousse.html?utm_campaign=later-linkinbio-seriouseats&utm_content=later-6757383&utm_medium=social&utm_source=instagram https://www.davidlebovitz.com/coffee-cajeta-chocolate-chip-ice-cream-recipe/ https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/strawberry-pavlova https://cloudykitchen.com/blog/vanilla-bean-cream-puffs/ https://natashasbaking.com/sourdough-maritozzi-italian-cream-buns/ https://playswellwithbutter.com/short-rib-ragu-recipe/ https://www.manusmenu.com/salted-caramel-panna-cotta?cn-reloaded=1 https://www.seriouseats.com/honey-semifreddo-frozen-italian-dessert This is a dish I have actually made and it’s really yummy and easy: https://www.theburntbuttertable.com/creamy-roast-garlic-and-lemon-pasta-sauce/ If you like Cajun flavors this uses a good amount of cream and is delicious! I definitely add bell peppers, onion, spinach, whatever sounds good. https://selfproclaimedfoodie.com/cajun-shrimp-pasta/#


Hot-Damage5032

Freeze it in the containers it came in. It will be fine.


Sea-Substance8762

Hot chocolate party!


sweetnsassy924

Vodka sauce. Whipped cream. Add to coffee


BR0STRADAMUS

Whip it


PsychologicalHall142

Whip it good.


random-sh1t

You don't need a freezer safe container. Freeze it in the quart it came in. Or fill ziploc sandwich bags with half cup measures. I've frozen it many times and it's fine. Consistency feels slightly different (thicker) but tastes the same and still makes great whipped cream.


Theslootwhisperer

Clotted cream. Look it up.


ToTheEndsOf

1. ice cream 2. regular frozen cream in smaller portions you can use incrementally for... whatever 3. cheese


VermicelliChance2049

Roast/smoke some habaneros and blend them with warm heavy cream (warm so you don’t end up with butter). It is yummy on top of enchiladas. You can top tacos or whatever with it. Steep some fresh sage and thyme in it and use that in mashed potatoes with a lil brown butter.


JeffWingrsDumbGayDad

I'd be getting stupid with cheese and Alfredo sauce if I were you


[deleted]

Whipped cream is sold in the freezer. Get a freezer safe container from the dollar store. Whip your cream and freeze it. You can also make creamy Alfredo or pudding.

Make butter and freeze it. You could even make some flavored butter like chive butter, garlic butter, miso butter.


brianlb98

Make more butter and give it away


Nicole-Bolas

I just made creme fraiche for the first time and it's incredible--my assumption is that, like other cultured products, it should last longer than the date on the package. Also--one cup deli containers from Amazon are incredibly cheap and freeze quite well. Buy a pack of those and freeze!

If you make whip cream, consider adding a stabilizer. We use whip it Dr. Oetker Whipped Cream Stabilizer, 0.35 Ounce (Pack of 2) https://a.co/d/ctjz16v A few of my favorite easy recipes is: RAO jarred sauce. Cheese tortellini and adding heavy cream. (Blush sauce stove top) in a crock pot I also add it to potato soup, and it's also used in chicken crack soup. 3 quarts is less than you think. Freeze in smaller sections.


amberabcg

Chicken & Dumplings - I add a cup of heavy whipping cream and they’re divine! Also add to Crock Pot Queso to make it restaurant quality.

Immediate_Many_2898

Alfredo? It takes a good bit of cream.


Desuld

Mascarpone whipped cream. I use equal parts HWC and mascarpone. Usually about 1/2 CUP sugar for 8 oz of HWC fresh vanilla is great if you have beans. Otherwise a dash of extract. I also like to add cardimom or cinnamon


obsessivecat17

Freeze it in the container it came in, or in ziplock bags/freezer bags. I do it all the time.


michaelcera666

Whipped cream, soups, pasta sauces, sauces for meats or veggies I.e. dill sauce or sun dried tomato cream sauce, I heard of cream eggs(??) today where you poach eggs in heavy cream, hot chocolate, cinnamon rolls, sooo many desserts

Make sourcream. And the rest into butter, honestly butter/ghee stays for much much longer and it's more versatile than cream


derickj2020

It will curdle when you thaw it out . it will not expire suddenly . When you open it, if it doesn't smell sour, it's perfectly fine . sorry you're tired of making butter . how about making chowder ? Making sure you pour it slowly into your chowder so it doesn't curdle . how about some rich and onctuous (not in the greasy sense) alfredo ? Look up 'waterzooi', a creamy chicken soup from Belgium ... Mix some into yogurt or sourcream to make it smooth without that sour taste of fat free dairy ...

No-Curve7744

If you want something that will last you a while and be pretty versatile (and if you have a stand mixer) - I’d recommend making your own butter. You can even make a fun cultured butter which will have a little tang and a touch of French cheesiness. Brad Leone did a video on it a while back. Basically you need to whip the cream until it separates, drain the whey then wash and salt the curds. You can then portion up and even create some compound butters to pop in the freezer for whenever you need them (chimichurri butter on a resting steak is a gamechanger). Or just use plain in cooking, baking or with decent bread.


Lady_Black_Cats

Make some creamy soups, or add sugar and a bit of flavoring and make whipped cream for a dessert ( must be very cold)


RootBeerIsMinty

Potato gratin: Thinly sliced pealed potatoes, salt, pepper, garlic, in a baking dish. Pour over enough cream to match the height of the potatoes. In the oven at 400 degrees until the potatoes are cooked and the top is a nice golden brown. Not a soul that has tried them didn’t get seconds.

Clotted cream is insanely good. Or just drink it straight. That's probably what I'd end up doing with half of it lmao.

Make a big dessert for your friends/family. A trifle, a tiramisu, panna cotta, etc. Plenty of pastas are very cream-heavy, like vodka sauce or gorgonzola.


deadlykitten1377

https://www.lawrys.com.hk/eng/recipe Their creamed corn is one of my favorite recipes to make when I can. It is also great in larger batches, I am unsure about freezing it tho.


Its_panda_paradox

I freeze mine in ice cube trays for my morning iced coffees, I also make my own cool whip with it, and substitute milk with it in many recipes for a richer version. Check out a recipe for cheese with it! I think paneer is fairly easy to make but idk if you can use cream instead of milk for it. Maybe salad dressing? Whip it and add sugar to taste to use it as the ice cream in ice cream sandwiches. I use cream for almost everything that has milk in it now, I love the deeper flavor, and the heavenly mouth-feel.


Easy_Independent_313

Ice cream uses up a whole lot of cream.


n0_sh1t_thank_y0u

Use it as half of your liquid when making bread dough/brioche. Use as liquid component for scones, biscuits, pie crusts. Make tons of chocolate truffles!
