I'm looking for a recipe for Devonshire Cream...?

Question

OK, I have been to high tea in San Fancisco, Vancouver(BC), and the one thing I always love is the devonshire cream.
It is sweet, pourable, goes wonderfully over strawberries, or other berries, great for dunking the cookies in....even better in the tea (black currant tea...mmmmm).
But I've not been able to EVER get a recipe for it. It does not use cream cheese like some recipes so.
I thought if I asked in the UK, maybe someone could help me out.
I'd love to make some

Well, thank you everyone for setting me straight!
Yeah, it was called Devon cream on all the little menus they gave us.
It figures they'd get it wrong (it's America)
wow,how totally disheartening!
thank you everyone!

Answer 1

Hi this is a tradition recipe for Devonshire clotted cream i am not sure it this is what you are talking about but here in Cornwall and Devon we use it over scones with jam and on things like apple pie, i hope it is what your looking for

Take 2 1/2 quarts (2.4L) and 1 1/2 cups ( 3dl) double cream
(whipping cream). Pour the milk and cream into a wide, shallow
pan like a large skillet or preserving pan . The pan should be firesafe. There is no need to stir.
Let the milk set in a cool place overnight, the fridge will do if you
have room. In the morning, put the pan on very low heat, being
careful not to shake or disturb the pan when you move it. If you
have an uneven heat source like gas or electric burners (rather
than the griddle of an old fuel fired stove) put a distributing
mat under the pan (can you still get asbestos mats?). Let
it stand on heat for 8 to 10 hours. Remove from heat,
again being very careful not to disturb the milk. When cool,
put in the fridge or cool place overnight yet again. In the
morning, skim off the clotted cream with a wide bladed
palette knife or a slice. The clotted cream should be yellow
and wrinkled on top and quite thick. The yield should be
about 1/2 pound (240g). it seems a lot of hard work but believe me the results are amazing.........good luck

Answer 2

Guess there is some confusion here. Devon cream is called 'clotted cream' and is really thick so you can spread it on scones etc. People dont have recipes for clotted cream, you just buy it. You can have Devon clotted cream, sent to you through the mail from some stores but it may be expensive as it needs to be sent airmail pretty quickly.
It is delicious, but is full of fat so has to be eaten infrequently just as a treat.

Answer 3

I think you're a little confused, dearie.

Clotted cream (as used in Devon cream teas) is NOT pourable! You've been ripped off! Good clotted cream is thick like butter.

It's not easy to make though: http://www.recipesource.com/ethnic/europe/british/clotted-cream1.html

Best leave it to the experts... or use double (whipping) cream or even creme fraiche...

Answer 4

This isn't a true clotted cream, but it's pretty close.
INGREDIENTS:
8 oz cream cheese
12 oz sour cream
Juice from 1 lemon
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar

Answer 5

Devonshire clotted Cream is different from Cornish Clotted Cream.

Both rely on the cream clotting as it slightly goes off.

the cornish heat theirs, and it gets a yellow crispy crust on top

Devon clotted cream is made from unpasturised milk allowed to clot at room temperature & the microbes do the work.

the previous posted has described CORNISH clotted cream which is inferior.

but then I'm a Devonian :0)

Answer 6

Unless you are a cow you cannot produce cream and devonshire cream is thick not pourable perhaps you mean double cream
