Double Cream

Double Cream is a thick, very rich cream traditionally used in British desserts and afternoon tea, often called clotted cream or Devonshire/Cornish cream. It is prized for its spoonable, indulgent texture and is commonly served with scones, puddings and as a finishing touch on desserts. In terms of nutrition, Double Cream is high in fat and especially saturated fat (30g per 100g), so it’s typically used sparingly; it also contributes small amounts of protein and fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A and vitamin B12. From a health perspective, it delivers high-quality dairy protein and offers fat-soluble nutrients, but because of its low fiber and high saturated fat content it’s best enjoyed in moderation or swapped for lighter alternatives when you want a lower-fat option.
