What is Clotted cream and Cuajada?
What is
Clotted cream (sometimes called scalded, clouted, Devonshire or Cornish cream) is a thick cream made by indirectly heating full-cream cow's milk using steam or a water bath and then leaving it in shallow pans to cool slowly. During this time, the cream content rises to the surface and forms "clots" or "clouts".
- Cuajada is technically a type of fresh cheese that is made from milk curds, although some consider it more of a pudding.
- It is popular in Northern Spain and areas of South and Central America such as Nicaragua, Brazil and Costa Rica.
