Double Cream – what is it called in French?

Like the question about LARD, I get asked these questions on a regular basis...

What is Double Cream in French?

Where can I buy Double Cream in France?

I never use cream when I cook or bake as it is not so good for my diet!

However, I have just followed a recipe from the Hairy Bikers – the Mud Pie.... yum! Highly recommended!

I replaced the 600 ml of Double Cream by:

- 1 tub of Mascarpone (also called Mascarpone in French and it is easy to find in any supermarket in France)

- and 2 x 20 cl of crème liquide.

I whipped the Crème Liquide to soft peaks, and the Mascarpone in a different bowl, and it was perfect.

I prepared this pie for New Years Eve and it didn’t last very long. A big Thank you to the Hairy Bikers for sharing this recipe with us! See, even in France, you are famous!!
