Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Heavy cream (at least 36% fat)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Place the unsalted butter in a small saucepan and melt it over low heat until fully liquid. Be careful not to let it brown or burn.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream.
Gradually add the melted butter to the heavy cream while whisking continuously. This will help the butter incorporate evenly into the cream.
Once the butter and cream are well combined, use a hand mixer or whisk to blend the mixture further until it thickens slightly. The consistency should be velvety and smooth.
Transfer the double cream to an airtight container and refrigerate it for at least 2 hours before using. Chilling will help it firm up slightly and achieve the desired richness.
Use your homemade double cream within 3 to 4 days for best results. Stir gently before each use.
