Hockings ice-cream!!! mmmm

I loved reading about your childhood associations to this "ice-cream truck" :) Tell me, are "ices" the same thing as "ice-cream"? Or is it more like sherbet or even "icier"?

I would love to try ice cream made with "clotted cream"...actually, I would like to try clotted cream...I don't think I have ever tried that. Is it thick cream? Wait. I'll go see instead of fumbling around here...heh...

*pause* *paste*

• Clotted cream: A silky, golden-yellow cream made by allowing unpasteurized cow’s milk (traditionally from Jersey cows) to sit for 12-24 hours in shallow pans, then slowing heating it and leaving it to cool for another 12-24 hours. The cream that rises to the surface and “clots” is skimmed off and served with scones, berries, or desserts. The best clotted cream is said to have a good, firm crust atop smooth, thick cream. Clotted cream originated in Southwest England (either in Cornwall or Devon, depending on who you ask), and Cornish clotted cream has been awarded the EU’s Protection Designation of Origin. It has a minimum of 55% butterfat.

• Devonshire cream: Clotted cream produced in the county of Devon, England. Interestingly, in Devon, cream is traditionally spread first on a scone, then topped with jam. In Cornwall, it’s the opposite: jam first, then cream.

• Double cream: A dense cream skimmed from the surface of milk. With a butterfat content of 48%, it is much more decadent than whipped cream but slightly lower than clotted cream.

OMG...*rolls around drooling*
Steve and I ADORE heavy creams and they are a HUGE YES on keto. We can't use traditional sugar but there are lots of exceptional sweeteners that aren't full of carbs...we will have to try out some of these nommy creams at some point...YUM YUM YUM!!

You could make your own clotted cream Janet - I used to do it when my kids were small. If you can find a dairy farmer who will sell you fresh milk that hasn't been mucked about with, do exactly what it says for clotted cream and it's absolutely scrummy. You'll still have milk over, it's only the skimming of the cream on the top that you use for clotted cream. You could always use the milk for rice puddings or custard or something like that!

My kids used to love the clotted cream, and often put it on bread with syrup and they called it "thunder and lightning". Mind you - eat a lot of that and you'll have to do a lot of hiking!!!

Ices is what we call ice-cream. Ice lollies are usually ice-cream or fruit water ice on sticks, sometimes covered with chocolate. Sorbet is always fruit water ice on its own.

Thank you so much for the ideas and explanations! :D

You know, I am sure we could get our hands on pure cow's milk, at some point I think it would be such fun to make our own clotted cream! YUMMY!! And Jenny, you won't believe it but because we are doing keto, pure cream--or the highest percentage of fat--is actually BETTER because it has the least carbohydrates...it doesn't make us fat! Isn't that completely bonkers? Naturally, calories ARE calories but fat does not react the same way with our bodies because it's the carbs that make us fat, not the fat. If that's hard to believe, you're not alone. I was terrified of doing keto for the longest time, I didn't trust what it promised. And then...I had to admit it. I could eat an ENTIRE BAG OF PORK RINDS and the next day I'd weigh LESS! Totally insane.

So...thunder and lightning for me please! :D Oh, and here's another crazy thing: skim milk DOES make us fat. It's full of carbs and devoid of fat! The less fat in the dairy, the worse it is for us...HUH?! Yep. Completely backwards but you know, after 1.5 yrs doing keto, I gotta believe it. :)

I wish I could really accept that Janet -because we are so bombarded with what you can't eat because you'll get fat, and any dairy product is full of fat and so you'll end up being rather "porky". I'll have to really delve into this keto-diet of yours, because it sounds as if all the things I like but don't eat, are really good for me!!!!

A lemon ice cream for me please !!!!
