Ingredients for Homemade Devonshire Cream

How to Make Homemade Devonshire Cream

  1. In a medium bowl, beat 4 ounces of softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until light and fluffy (about 2 minutes).
  2. Gradually beat in 1 cup of sour cream, ensuring it's fully incorporated.
  3. Add 1/2 cup of confectioners' sugar and continue beating until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Taste and add more sugar to your preference.
  4. Spoon the Devonshire cream into a serving bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to thicken. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
