Whipping cream question??? Making creme brule!!!?

Is it ok to use whipping cream after the expiration date?? Its hard and like curdled milk but im not sure if thats how its supposed to be?? It smells ok. It expired on june 3rd so its been a couple weeks already.... And if i cant use that is there a substitute??? Im making creme brule, so is there any chance i can make a substitute with stuff at home???|||If it%26#039;s hard and curdled, no way should you use it. It is bad, very bad. A couple weeks is a long time after the expiration date especially for dairy products. The best substitute would be half and half if you have any, or possibly whole milk, but if you use those you should reduce the amount by a tiny bit because they%26#039;re more liquid-y than whipping cream. The creme brulee won%26#039;t be quite as rich, but maybe that%26#039;s a good thing since there are 800 calories per cup of whipping cream...|||well for sure you cant use it for crem brule, but u can make cheese with it boil it add some salt for flavor. and pop it in your oven over night DO NOT TURN THE OVEN ON!!!!! THE PILOT IN YOUR OVEN IS PERFECT FOR MAKING CHEESE...take it out cool it and enjoy with bread or watermelon.|||No, not if it is in that condition. Once it has begun to curdle then it wouldn%26#039;t whip properly even if it wasn%26#039;t bad to use for other reasons.





Nope on the substitution. This is why you should make certain of your ingredients before beginning to cook.|||Don%26#039;t use it. You could end up with food poisoning





Other than whipping cream, I have no suggestions to make creme brule.|||no, don%26#039;t think soo.|||methinks you need to just go to the store
