No new year day hatch along for me. I'd love to but I don't have the facilities to brood them, or a place to house them.

Question for bakers and/or dairy people.
Can heavy whipping cream be used after it has been frozen?

I had a pint of fresh whipping cream that got shoved to the back of the refrigerator. It is frozen solid.
I would hate to waste it.

I think cream tends to separate out and clot up after being frozen.

That happens with the fresh whipping cream and the natural milk that I'm getting. I have to shake or stir them before using.
I guess my question should be "does freezing the whipping cream have an adverse affect" on it's usage after thawing?

What I meant to say was that it clumps up and cannot be remixed - but try it and let us know.

You could always do what I do: I brood them in my kitchen in an enclosed open top dog house! Lol once they are COMPLETELY feathered I put them in a little coop by themselves.

Yes I am bitten by the chicken bug. Love incubating and watching them grow and develop personalities.

I am actually looking for more fertile eggs now!

Well, I thawed it along with some cream cheese that I used to make a pumpkin cheese cake.
I used the mixer to blend the ingredients and the batter was pretty smooth.

Four pies are out of the oven, cooling on the counter. The house smells delicious.

I already have my d'uccles in the house. I love them to pieces but boy the noise and mess!

I am wheedling the winter hours away thinking
of how to maybe build a small coop out of pallet wood.

RaZ .. If you like Pumpkin Cheesecake, I have a fabulous recipe for Pumpkin Swirl cheesecake. It is beautiful when done (a bit of a PITA to make) & always blows everyone's mind. I don't like pumpkin stuff EXCEPT this baby

Took a pic of recipe & uploaded under my profile in "Recipes" album.
