Uses for heavy cream?

[isabel]

I have a container of heavy cream in the fridge. Any suggestions on how to use it up? I thought about making fettuccine alfredo, which I still might do, but that was the only thing that came to mind.

Strawberry shortcake and whipped cream.

Quiche

Ditto this. I just made some strawberry shortcake last night. Yum! When I have heavy cream around the house, I also like to put it in my coffee.

I would say ice cream, but then you'd have to see my "how to use up egg whites" post. Lol.

Go with the strawberry shortcake, for sure!

Haha I thought about ice cream and your post. Strawberry shortcake sounds tasty.

Caramel sauce if you have lots of butter and sugar too. Yuummmm.

Definitely fresh whipped cream. It's good with so many things; I even like it just with a slice of chocolate cake.

I also like to add a bit to scrambled eggs and mashed potatoes for a bit of extra luxury.

And I don't think it's standard, but I know I've seen fudge and cheesecake recipes that contain heavy cream.

Ditto coffee! Yum. It makes it taste like nips candies.

I love whipped cream on blueberries or strawberries. Or by itself.

Chicken a la vodka...yum.

Or if you want to keep it simple, pasta, spaghetti sauce, and heavy cream and throw in a little garlic, oregano, italian seasoning, and basil for taste.

Another vote for whipped with berries or fruit.

chocolate truffle pie!!

1.5 cups heavy cream
12 oz chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup powdered sugar sifted
1 graham cracker crust

put 3/4 cup of cream and the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl, microwave in 30 second intervals stirring in between to combine. Once all the chips are melted & the mixture is smooth, mix in the vanilla & the powdered sugar. Let it come to room temp.

Once it comes to room temp, whip the remaining cream until it forms stiff peaks. Then mix in the chocolate mixture. Pour into the crust, chill for 8 hrs. Enjoy.

Truffles or ganache- same thing but different ratio chocolate to cream. Both can be frozen.

I addition to a lot of the things listed by pps, I use it in tikka masala sauce. I also use it in place of the butter/milk in boxed mac and cheese if I have it on hand (like if it calls for 2 Tbl of butter + 3 Tbl of milk, I just use 5 Tbl of cream).

It's really good on cereal

Taragon Dijon sauce with Chicken or Turkey.

potato soup!

or whipped cream on anything. or by itself. i have no objections to whipped cream ever.

I agree with the others - I have to force myself not to buy it most of the time because I will eat it in so many different ways. I have a container in my 'fridge now that I'm going to use to make a butternut squash bisque. Assuming it doesn't accidentally make its way into my coffee first, that is.

[isabel]

Wow. I need to buy more heavy cream.

[heygrey]

or just use it in canned soup. campbell's tomato soup with heavy cream. omg.

OMG on Captain Crunch. Dear god. 

My kid used to call it 'fancy milk', lol 

My fave is rice krispies w/ brown sugar and cream

[awkwardpenguin]

I'm confused about this issue using up heavy cream.

I use it in a tomato soup recipe I have and several Indian dishes that I cook. Extra goes in coffee, eggs, fancy hot chocolate, mashed potatoes, or whipped cream.

Heavy Cream in coffee gives me this   face

I have used it for making fresh whipped cream and quiche

[iheartmaui]

I've made this a few times and it's so versatile and easy! Slowly folding the whipped cream in the eagle brand is key.

Substitute in anything you would use milk.

I like real cream in coffee or hot chocolate. It even makes instant taste so much richer. I also 2nd scrambled eggs. Once you start using it, you will always have some in the fridge. Its just so good.

[halfpint]

I make fresh whipped cream and then put THAT on my coffee and stir it in. ZOMG.

So many good suggestions here, all I want is berries and fresh whipped cream now. Yum, yum, yum!
