3 Simple Ways to Use Leftover Clotted Cream

Wondering what to do with leftover clotted cream?

Try these simple serving ideas including soup, creamy tagliatelle and coffee, using Cheshire clotted cream from Clotton Creamery.

Leftover clotted cream? We know, it doesn’t happen very often…

In the UK, around 60% of food waste happens in our homes, so finding simple ways to use up what’s already in the fridge can make more of a difference than we think. And luckily, clotted cream is one of those ingredients that works in more places than just a scone.

Our Cheshire Clotted Cream is traditionally made using fresh milk from our herd here in Cheshire, creating its rich texture and signature golden crust. While it’s perfect for cream teas and desserts, it can also be used in savoury dishes, sauces and even coffee.

Here are three easy ways to use up any leftover clotted cream at home.

Stir Clotted Cream Into Soup

A spoonful of clotted cream stirred through soup adds a rich, smooth finish.

It works particularly well with:

Tomato soup
Roasted pepper soup
Root vegetable soup
Butternut squash soup

Serve with warm crusty bread and plenty of black pepper. Simple, comforting and a good way to use up the last bit left in the pot.

Creamy Tagliatelle with Clotted Cream

Clotted cream also works surprisingly well stirred through pasta.

For a quick, easy dinner:

Cook tagliatelle until tender
Fry garlic, mushrooms and spring onions in a little butter or olive oil
Add a spoonful of clotted cream and a splash of pasta water
Stir through the pasta until smooth and silky
Finish with black pepper and grated cheese

A simple midweek dinner with very little effort.

Add Clotted Cream to Coffee

A small spoonful of clotted cream in hot coffee melts into a smooth, creamy finish. Rich, comforting and ideal for slower mornings.

Small Ideas That Go Further

Making ingredients go a little further doesn’t need to be complicated. And while leftover clotted cream might be rare in most households, these simple ideas are an easy way to use up every last spoonful.

Because good food deserves to be enjoyed right down to the last spoonful.
