I never have cream when I need it or I am throwing it out because it goes bad before I can use it. I was wondering, can cream be frozen and then thawed out and be as good as new? Any advise is appreciated.

You can not freeze cream, it doesnt survive and it breaks up into yeeechies...

Thanks for the advise. I knew someone would know. I actually did try the freeze method and it came out just like you said it would. But I thought I had done something wrong or done it the wrong way. Darn it. Thank again.

thats so funny i posted the same question yesterday....

great minds think alike

Hi.

I used to buy frozen cream when I lived in the UK. It was packaged in chunks, a solid tube about 3 inches long was enough for a single serve. I dont know if anything was added to it though as I wasnt lowcarbing then.

Anyway I looked on the net for an answer as I have just chucked out another bottle of unusable cream, and I am going to try this.

Cream
Do not freeze half, single or soured cream as they separate on thawing. Cream must have a minimum fat content of 35% to freeze successfully. The best way to freeze cream is to add 15ml(1 tablespoon) of milk to 150ml(1/4 pint) and whip to the soft peak stage before packaging in ridgid plastic containers. Whipped cream containing 40% or more butterfat can be piped into rosettes and frozen, before packing into a ridgid container to store. Use double or whipping cream within 2 months. Freeze clotted cream in ridgid cartons and use within 1 month. Take care when whipping thawed cream as it thickens very quickly.

That's funny, I was wondering about freezing cream, too. I've been wanting to buy it in bigger containers as it's a little cheaper that way. I guess I'll stick with the smallest one and buy it more often.

Thanks for the info Arie!

I have to say Arie was right on the money. Joy, If you try it let us know how it turns out.
