Instant Pot Clotted Cream Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by pouring non-ultra pasteurized heavy cream into the Instant Pot and using the yogurt function set to boil. After reaching the boil stage, the pot is kept warm for 8 to 10 hours to allow the cream to thicken gradually. This slow heating promotes the formation of a thick, creamy layer characteristic of clotted cream.
Once complete, the pot is cooled at room temperature and then refrigerated for 12 hours to further set the cream. The thickened clotted cream is carefully skimmed off the top, leaving behind a thinner liquid. The cream can be used as is or stirred for uniform creaminess and kept in a glass jar.
This clotted cream is traditionally served with scones or desserts and should be enjoyed within two weeks. The leftover liquid can be used in other recipes.
Ingredients
- 2 pints heavy cream make sure to find non-ultra pasteurized cream for this, non-ultra pasteurized
Instructions
- Note: I like to plan to start my Instant Pot clotted cream in the morning, when I wake up. That way I can put it in the refrigerator before I go to bed and wake up to a finished product!
- Pour the cream directly into the Instant Pot. Close the lid (no need to set the vent, we're not pressure cooking.) Press the YOGURT button and press until it says BOIL.
- When the machine beeps, and has reached the boil stage, press the KEEP WARM button and let it go for 8-10 hours. I let mine go for 10 hours.
- Turn the machine off and remove the pot. Let cool at room temperature without disturbing. Then refrigerate the pot, as is, for 12 hours.
- Carefully scoop off the thickened layer of clotted cream, leaving the thin liquid behind. It's ok if you get some of the thinner liquid into your clotted cream, you can mix it in.
- Spoon your cream into a glass jar. You can leave as is, or stir it together to make it creamier.
- Enjoy within 2 weeks.
- The leftover liquid can be used to make scones.
Notes
- If you don't have an Instant Pot, clotted cream can also be made in an oven as described in the original recipe post.
- Leftover clotted cream is suitable for use in shortbread recipes such as Clotted Cream Shortbread for added richness.
