I love chicken / steak with mushrooms and a cream sauce, but whenever I buy a carton of cooking cream, we never seem to finish it before it goes bad. I'd put it in my coffee only I take it black - always liked it that way.
What do you put cooking cream in? Give me some ideas, save my box of cream fom the trash![:) :)](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/smile.png)

Well you can whip it up... I actually just whipped up about 1/2 a cup I had left and put it in the fridge.. I added some to my afternoon coffee. We can add it to a dessert, or even top some fruit with it... I sweetened with truvia during the whipping..
Perhaps instead of throwing it away, you could have froze it for the next time you need a wee bit..0 -

I made a recipe not long ago that called for 1/4 cup and of course the store was out of half pints and I had to buy a pint. Since it was not cheap, I wanted to use it so decided to make whipped cream for some Jello and despite the warnings about over whipping I left the kitchen for bit and came back to find I was half way to butter.
A quick Google on how to finish it and I've got about a 3/4 cup of fresh butter.
It will store in the freezer for several months or the fridge for several weeks.0 -

That looks delicious, will try! I now remember a cramy corn soup recipe I have somewhere around too.
Whipping it - wow, do I feel stupid! Sometimes we really ignore the obvious and it takes some good soul to remind usthank you, I never thought of desert options, will try that too.
I have never frozen anything dairy before but since ice-cream freezes well, it stands to reason cream would, too... Will try portioning off and freezing.
Thank you everyone!

If you whip it and freeze it, you can then add it to hot chocolate. Om nomnom0
