How long will heavy cream keep in the refrigerator? It seems to last a long time, just not sure how long?
It may be one of those It Varies things.
Influenced by this thread, this morning in the refrigerator i happened upon an unopened pint of Trader Joe’s Organic Heavy Whipping Cream, dated AUG 08. Shook the bejesus out of it until it again sounded like liquid rather than silent, then opened it: smelled OK.
Mixed somewhere between 1/3 and 1/2 (didn’t measure) of a pint with about the same of vanilla unsweetened flax milk (a typical beverage i like), heated and blended with organic cacao powder for what amounts to hot chocolate. Vrra vrra niiiice.
I expect to have more tomorrow and/or the next day ’til it’s gone, maybe with some of the usual protein drink powders i have instead of the cacao.
This is mostly an experiment to find out how my body does/does not handle heavy cream.
