Extra Thick Double Cream

© Copyright 2009. All rights reserved and enforced

Extra Thick Double Cream is Double Cream that has been homogenized to produce the extra thickness that makes it spoonable right from the container as a topping for desserts and fruit. For this reason, it's sometimes referred to as a "spooning cream."

It won't whip successfully, but the idea behind its being made extra thick is that it's ready to go as a solid topping without your needing to whip it.

At Christmas, you can buy specially flavoured ones such as Cognac, Cointreau, etc.

Brits will use an Extra Thick Double Cream as a topping where North Americans would use ice cream or whipped cream.

It is also useful as a cake filling.
