Easy Devonshire Cream

So delicious and a convenient replacement when devonshire cream isn’t readily available in the local store. A tiny tinge of cream cheese taste but not bad at all!

This was really good! As it was reaching stiff peaks, I tasted it and thought it was slightly too cream cheesy, I just beat in maybe 1 1/2 tbsp (just did it to taste) more heavy cream. On the scones, it was a slightly less silky texture than real Devonshire cream, but very good and the flavor was nearly spot on for what I've had in England.

I used this for my recent tea party and my friend loved it! I made the recipe exactly as written! I actually tried to hand whip a single batch and realized it wasn't going to work. So I ended up using my stand mixer. And then before blending decided to double the recipe. Even though I didn't cream the second addition of cream cheese, this still came out fine! Went great with the British scones and raspberry jam!

This recipe makes the most heavenly cream ever! I haven't had a real Devonshire cream, but my friends that have said that this is pretty close. I make the recipe as is but I add 1/4 cup of sour cream, this seems to help with the "cream cheesey" taste. I also added 1 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg. This goes great on plain scones. I am so excited to make this again on Tuesday!

I submitted this recipe after a friend and I experienced our first Tea while in Victoria, BC some years ago. We watched the others in the Tea house as they split their scone, spread the Devonshire Cream on then topped it with fresh strawberry preserves. I fell in love with this wonderful treat and came home and did my best to duplicate. This "cream" began a yearly tradition of having a Tea with mothers, daughters, granddaughters and friends. So much fun and so many memories made. Enjoy!
