Freezing Cream

[rockyracoon]

I couple of weeks ago I had a large carton of double cream that I wouldn't have used, I whipped it up and put it in the freezer. When I thaw it out, will it be the same consistency that it went in the freezer?

Thanks :)

its might have split a bit and be a bit grainy. It may be possible to stir it back together but maybe not. In future stir in a little icing sugar into the cream or whip it to standing before freezing and freeze it in blobs.

Thanks Woofy, I don't know about the icing sugar. I whipped it quite firmly, to how I would if I was using it for a pavlova.

[woofgang]

then that should be fine

[ummmm]

Let us know how it turns out please :-) x

PS if you are really sneaky and know you will be using it for pavlova or cake then whip it and spread it on silicone paper to the size and shape that you will use. Open freeze then pack and store and when you need it just plonk it on the came or meringue and let it thaw in situ

Lol Woof, that's a great idea.

Will do Ummmm.

when i had time to do such fripperies I used to whip cream with a little flavouring in (eg booze lol) and pipe it out in twiddley bits then freeze, Plonk on whatever dessert you are serving for instant poshness.

I'm going to try to remember that.

[ummmm]

Can you do 'poshness' my treacle :-D
