Any uses for bitter cream?

[Marthe48]

I got a quart, mainly to give my old cat a coouple tbs daily. She stopped wanting it. I tasted it this morning and it's got a bitter taste, almost a month before the date. I imagine it is on its way to souring. There is about a cup left. Any kind of cookies or cakes, or even bread recipes that I could use it in? I'd even use it for skin care, just hate to see it go to waste! Thank you.

1. Sometimes it can be "freshened" with a little baking soda. I'd find a baking project I could use it

... in muy pronto. The bitter will go away in baking.

2. whipping cream biscuits ... aka Angel Biscuits

These are really good and freeze really well. This is the only recipe I will make with self-rising flour.

Your cream isn't acidic enough to substitute for buttermilk or sour cream, but should work just fine in this recipe.

You should be able to substitute it for milk in other baked goods.

My ex’s mother makes those biscuits for strawberry shortcake. Divine!

3. I would throw it out

Dairy going bad prematurely is a sure sign of contamination or improper storage after pasteurization. In all likelihood the bacteria which have cultured are harmless, but you can't know if any pathogenic bacteria came along for the ride.

4. I use soured milk in batters...

such as pancakes, waffles or muffins. Works fine and doesn't affect taste. No doubt you could use what you have in the same way.

ETA: may want to dilute with water for consistency.

5. Let it sit in a warm place overnight, you'll get lovely sour cream

Or leave it for a bit less, so it's well-cultured but still fairly watery, then shake the bejeezus out of it to get absolutely delicious butter…might not be worth it for such a small amount though.

7. Use it in cornbread or any recipe that calls for buttermilk.

If it's not quite as sour as buttermilk, add a tsp of vinegar.

8. I put some into a batch of sourdough

I set up some starter last week. I'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks for the ideas. As always, lots to pick from

10. Getting refund from grocery store!

'Perfect' timing, 'new' 1% is sour, so can't do coffee.

11. That is terrible!

I mainly have heavy whipping cream on hand to give my elderly cat, to help her with nutrition and regularity. I always heard not to give cats dairy products, but if she prefers liquids, I'm okay with it. I know when she won't drink it, it's off. Sorry you didn't get your coffee.

12. we are doing the same thing with our elderly cat. He loves it

We only give him a couple of tablespoons at a time. Our biggest problem is keeping the other cats away. He doesn't want his other food as much though which bothers me

I bought a pint instead of a quart. the little half pints are getting nearly impossible to find

13. That's what I do for her

She leaves most of the canned food in the dish, licks off the sauce. She's 16 or 17, and I let her have what she wants. I know when the cream is turning, because she won't touch it. And she must have fresh water every single time she wants a drink! lol My daughter had a special needs cat that lived to be almost 20, living on sour cream, yogurt, milk and cottage cheese.
