Clotted cream (including cream spread ) is a type of thick cream , which (from raw unhomogenized and unpasteurized ) cow's milk is produced. The milk is heated in shallow pans and left for several hours. During this time, the cream collects on the surface and forms "clots". The taste of clotted cream is similar to that of mascarpone .

replacement

A substitute can be made by mixing two parts whole milk with one part double crème . The mixture is heated in a pan over low heat for a few hours until a skin forms. Then the pan is left in a cool place overnight. The lumpy cream is then skimmed off the surface and the remaining milk can be used for other purposes.
