Marks & Spencer Vanilla Clotted Cream
What it is

How people cook with it
This special cream is perfect for elevating desserts and baked goods. It adds a touch of indulgence to simple treats.
- Dolloped on scones
- Swirled into hot chocolate
- Topping for fruit crumbles
- Layered in trifles
Simply spoon this clotted cream directly from the container onto your chosen treat. It is best served chilled. For a more elegant presentation, you can place a small quenelle of the cream alongside cakes, tarts, or fresh berries. Its density means a little goes a long way, providing a decadent finish to any dessert. It can also be gently warmed and drizzled over warm puddings.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike regular whipped cream, clotted cream is much denser and richer due to its higher fat content and the unique heating process. The addition of vanilla provides a distinct flavor profile that sets it apart from plain clotted cream, offering a sweet, fragrant note.
Who it is for
Home bakers and dessert enthusiasts who enjoy creating special treats will appreciate this luxurious ingredient.
How to keep the rest
Once opened, keep the remaining clotted cream refrigerated in its original container. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to maintain freshness and prevent it from absorbing other odors from the refrigerator. Consume within the recommended timeframe after opening for the best quality.
