I am wanting make Gordon Ramsay's chocolate mint truffles (they look fantastic and easy too) and the recipe asks for double cream and single cream.
I have searched on here and found that double cream is similar to our cream, but what do I use for single cream?

I don't know from actually making those truffles but as I watched Gordon making them I thought that here in N.Z. one would just use our cream for both the double and single cream quantities.:-))

The one above is slightly different to the one I saw him do on TV the other night, but it does answer my first question as it only has one cream.
my understanding is that double cream has about 48% fat... and that single cream has about 38% fat... (I think I have those figures right)...
Our "cream" has about 44% fat, so you can use our cream as a replacment for either in a british recipe

Double cream is what we use for whipping...higher fat content....single cream would be lite or low fat cream
