You can make double heavy cream at home using heavy cream and buttermilk. Simply pour one cup of heavy cream into a glass jar with a tight lid, add one tablespoon of buttermilk, close the lid, and shake for one full minute. Then, wrap the jar in a thick towel and let it sit out at room temperature for 12 hours. The cream will thicken but remain liquid.
This process works because the buttermilk introduces bacteria that encourage the cream to separate, creating a thicker, richer consistency.
This homemade double cream can be used in various recipes like desserts, sauces, and soups that call for a thicker, richer cream.
