During the heating process, the fat from the whipping cream will separate and float to the top. When done, it will create a firm and wobbly skin. During the cooling process, the skin will firm up even more and you will find a dense and solid layer that is easy to scoop off.
This typically happens to clotted creams that have been frozen for either too long (beyond four months) or in the wrong container (always use an airtight container and wrap in a freezer bag for extra protection).
No. If done right, the consistency will already be thick and creamy with no extra whipping required.
If you feel like the consistency is too thick, simply stir in a small amount of the thin leftover liquid. Keep adding small amounts until you have reached the desired thickness.
If stored in a sealed container and refrigerated, it will last for up to a week. Once opened, it will keep for up to four days. If you're unsure, give it a sniff: If it smells sour, it has likely expired and it's best to throw it out.

If you imagine the smoothness of whipping cream, combined with the richness of butter, you have clotted cream. Originally an English staple, this thick and decadent cream makes an appearance on everything from teatime menus to the dinner table.
Few things are as good a match as clotted cream and scones. From humble beginnings as a way of preserving buffalo milk, the combination of a warm, fluffy pastry and dollop of creamy decadence is a tea-time favorite for the English and beyond.
Stirring a dollop into your mashed potatoes will instantly transform it from a standard side dish to the star of the dinner table. It also adds a decadent creamy touch to any soup, risotto or sauce. And of course, using it as a topping for anything sweet – from fresh berries to tarts and pies – is always a great idea.
Always use a clean, sealed container for storage and keep it in the refrigerator for up to a week (once opened, use within four days).
