Oh my goodness, on the rare occasions when I have extra illicit-substance heavy cream, I’ll just dump it all into the casserole du jour—soooo naughty, so delicious!

OMG I love cream and eggs. I am an old geezer that lived in the country on a farm. We were paid for doing chores with pint jars of chilled whole milk. This is delicious. Thank you for making my day.

I just made Dori Sanders’ No- Churn Fresh Lemon Ice Cream with my heavy cream. It’s amazing! And so easy. Estela’s Candied Sesame Seeds are perfect on it, but dark chocolate jimmies will suffice! If I had a whole pint of heavy cream, King Arthur’s Mocha Madness Ice Cream is perfect. I’ve made both recipes many times and a they always turn out well.

I faced down my surplus of heavy cream last night, along with a carton of cremini mushrooms that was fast going south. So i browned the shrooms in some butter with a couple shallots, then boiled some thin spaghetti until just shy of al dente. I tossed it with the mushrooms, a few glugs of cream, and whatever remaining bits of cheese we had left over from the weekend -- some gorgonzola, a couple ounces of goat cheese and some parmesan.
Not the healthiest meal after a weekend full of rich food, but wow was it good!

To use up both leftover cream and egg yolks (handy with the current contest for egg white recipes) consider:
This Amontillado dessert sauce at https://food52.com/recipes/32024-amontillado-dessert-sauce
And its first cousin, the lemon, quince (jam) and brandy sauce included in this recipe
https://food52.com/recipes/32115-roasted-pears-with-a-lemon-quince-jam-and-brandy-sauce
and any variations. (Substitute any booze or liqueur, the jam used, and citrus zest, spices, as you see fit, using either recipe as a template.) ;o)
P.S. If you just have cream and no yolks, but have some lemon curd on hand, you can whip this up in about 2 minutes flat https://food52.com/recipes/32151-instant-gratification-quince-lemon-and-brandy-sauce

Mine usually winds up in my coffee or as an extra boost to mac and cheese, but vodka sauce is one of my favorite comfort foods. If my dairy allergic husband is around, I just use coconut milk instead (https://girlnamedallyn.wordpress.com/2014/11/25/vodka-sauce/)
