In the list of ‘whopping great luxuries’, good old fashioned cream is hard to beat. The amount of thing that it can be used for is simply massive, which makes it not only marvelously tasty, but also very very versatile. Don’t believe us? That’s why we’ve come up with this list of some wonderful things that can be done once you’ve whipped up the cream chargers Get your mind out of the gutter, by the way.
Drinkies. Scientific research has shown time and time again that hot drinks can genuinely improve happiness levels in the cold weather. What makes them even better? That’s right, a load of cream being involved. Whether it’s covering the top of a hot chocolate in squirty cream or pouring some luxurious double cream info your coffee (trust us), a good hot drink really does go to that extra level with a bit of cream involved.
Ice cream. As a man who really, really loves deserts, I’m pretty damn experienced in stuffing my face. That’s why I’m quite prepared to admit that really good homemade ice cream remains just about unbeatable in terms of loveliness. Whether it’s chocolate chip, strawberry ripple or good old fashioned brandy (trust me, it’s IMMENSE), making your own ice cream is a wonderful thing that everyone should try at least once.
Fresh fruit. Whilst it’s not the ideal food for the weather as it is (refreshment isn’t the order of the day!), a good fruit salad is absolutely superb in the summer months. What makes it better? A good dollop of any cream that you fancy. Double cream is great for strawberries, squirty cream for the more exotic fruits. However, it’s all really down to what you fancy!
Scones. There’s nothing quite so damn English as a good cream tea. Needless to say, a cream tea rather suffers without the tea. Break out the strawberries and scones and have a wonderful sunny afternoon. Once the snow’s gone, obviously.
