Tips:

  • Use high-quality butter. Not all butter is created equal. Look for butter that is made from fresh cream and has a high fat content (80% or more).
  • Soften the butter properly. Don't skip this step! Softened butter will cream together with the sugar more easily and will result in a smoother texture.
  • Gradually add the sugar. Don't dump all of the sugar into the butter at once. Add it in small increments, beating well after each addition. This will help to prevent the mixture from curdling.
  • Beat until light and fluffy. This is the key to a successful clotted cream substitute. Beat the butter and sugar together until they are light and fluffy and have almost doubled in volume.
  • Add the cream and vanilla extract. Once the butter and sugar are light and fluffy, add the cream and vanilla extract and beat until combined.
  • Chill before serving. Clotted cream substitute is best served chilled. This will help it to firm up and hold its shape.
