Clotted, Devonshire or Devon Cream
Comments: Really appreciated served along with fresh fruits, spread on toasts and spooned on desserts, it is served at breakfast, lunch or dinner, as an appetizer or a dessert.
Here is a recipe that comes close to the real thing, this specialty of Devonshire, England, which used to be made with fresh unpasterized milk, which is not available anymore.
The traditional English 'cream tea' consists of clotted cream and jam served along with scones and tea.

IngredientsPreparation
  • 2 cups [500 mL] heavy cream
