Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 ml Heavy cream
- 250 ml Full-fat milk
- 50 g Honey
- 500 ml Ice water
Instructions
Pour the heavy cream and full-fat milk into a heavy-bottomed saucepan and heat gently over low to medium heat.
Stir occasionally to prevent the cream from burning while bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Avoid boiling.
Once the cream starts to thicken slightly (around 15-20 minutes), reduce the heat to low and continue cooking for 2 hours. This slow cooking process allows the cream to separate and develop its rich, clotted texture.
After 2 hours, remove the saucepan from the heat and let the cream cool to room temperature.
Prepare a mixing bowl filled with the ice water. Transfer the cooled cream mixture to a smaller bowl and gently set it into the ice water to chill for 15-20 minutes.
Once chilled, transfer the cream mixture to a wide, shallow dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This will help the cream set completely and achieve its thick consistency.
To serve, scoop a generous portion of the clotted cream into a bowl or onto a plate. Drizzle the honey over the top according to your taste.
Serve with warm bread, croissants, or as a topping for pancakes or fruit.
