Recipe Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Cook the heavy cream in the top of a double boiler over simmering water until it’s reduced by about half. This process typically takes about an hour. Ensure it reaches the consistency of butter, with a golden “crust” forming on the top. |
| 2 | Once cooked, transfer the cream, including the golden crust, into a bowl. |
| 3 | Cover the bowl and let the clotted cream stand at room temperature for 2 hours. |
| 4 | After 2 hours, refrigerate the clotted cream for at least 12 hours to allow it to set further. |
| 5 | Before serving, stir the golden crust into the cream to incorporate its rich flavor. |
| 6 | Store any unused portions of the clotted cream in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for up to 4 days. |
Tips:
- For best results, use high-quality heavy cream with a high fat content.
- Be patient during the cooking process to ensure the cream thickens properly.
- Serve your homemade clotted cream alongside freshly baked scones or as a topping for desserts.
