this, do you thicken the cream to a certain consistency or do you buy it as thickened cream!My recipe for mini xmas puddings has this ingredient. Thanks

You can buy thickened cream in pots which are shelved with the ordinary cream.It's lower fat than pouring cream and (from memory) is thickened with gelatine or pectin.

Use creme fraiche.

I wouldn't.It has a different taste and texture. It is also way more expensive.

clair4 is the thickened cream to add to the xmas pudding before cooking! If so just use ordinary cream. A lot of English and American recipes call for thickened cream as they have 3 types 1) pouring cream similar to our lite stuff 2) whipping cream similar to our ordinary cream 3) thickened cream which has a higher fat content than the whipping cream. In NZ our ordinary cream will do for using as a substitute for all 3 types.
