I. Ingredients:

To make a delicious Clotted Cream infused with CBD, gather the following ingredients:

  • 2 cups heavy cream (preferably with a high fat content, around 36%)
  • 1-2 full spectrum CBD oil drops (optional, for CBD infusion)

II. Equipment:

Before starting the recipe, ensure you have the following equipment:

  • Wide, shallow, oven-safe dish or baking pan
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Aluminum foil or parchment paper
  • Fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth
  • Mixing bowl
  • Jar or airtight container for storage

III. Step-by-Step Instructions:

A. Preparing the Cream:

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°F (82°C).
  2. Pour the heavy cream into a wide, shallow, oven-safe dish or baking pan, ensuring that the cream forms a thin layer in the dish.
  3. Use a whisk or spoon to spread the cream evenly.

B. Incorporating CBD:

  1. To infuse CBD into your Clotted Cream, you can use CBD oil drops.
  2. After pouring the cream into the dish, add 1-2 drops of CBD oil to the cream and gently whisk to combine.

C. Straining and Chilling:

  1. Cover the dish loosely with aluminum foil or parchment paper, allowing some airflow.
  2. Place the dish in the preheated oven and let it bake undisturbed for about 8-12 hours. The cream will develop a thick, yellowish skin on top, while the bottom will remain liquid.
  3. Once the cream has developed a thick skin, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
  4. Carefully lift the thickened clotted cream skin from the top of the dish and transfer it to a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth set over a mixing bowl.
  5. Allow the clotted cream to strain for several hours or overnight in the refrigerator. This will separate the thick clotted cream from the remaining liquid.
  6. Once strained, transfer the thickened clotted cream to a jar or airtight container for storage.

IV. Tips and Variations:

  • Use high-quality, preferably organic, heavy cream for the best results.
  • For a more pronounced CBD flavor, you can whisk the CBD oil drops directly into the clotted cream after straining.
  • Experiment with different CBD oil flavors to add a unique twist to your clotted cream.
  • You can also add a touch of vanilla extract or honey to enhance the flavor of the clotted cream.

V. Serving and Storage:

Once your Clotted Cream infused with CBD is ready, it’s time to serve and enjoy this luxurious treat. Here are some serving and storage tips:

  1. Serving: Clotted cream is traditionally enjoyed with scones and jam. Serve it on a plate or in a bowl alongside freshly baked scones, your favorite jam, and a cup of tea
  2.  Store the Clotted Cream infused with CBD in a jar or airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep well for about 3-4 days. The texture may become slightly denser as it chills, but it will still be delicious.
