Cookery question!

Do you know if I can use Extra Thick Double Cream to make a caramel sauce - recipe says warm double cream with toffee on the hob - and I don't have any ordinary double cream.

(I'm not being lazy, I have to wait in for a repair man to call, so can't go shopping till after he's been! If I nip down the shop no doubt he will turn up and go away again!)

Thanks! X

Experiment!

I think it should work. Can I be a tester?

if you think its too thick try letting it down with some milk until you get the consistency you're looking for.I dont think there would be an issue with extra thick..cream is cream to me

That's what I was thinking, but pot doesn't say suitable for cooking, and I am a coward (and loath to waste my Thornton's toffee!) Haha! I will give it a try I think! Thank you!
