date syrup and qaymar | clotted cream
- Prep Time: 10 minutes
- Total Time: 2 1/4 hours to 12 1/4 hours
- Yield: approximately 2 cups
Ingredients
- 1 pint (2 cups) heavy whipping cream
- 2 1/2 tablespoons (1 ounce) corn starch
- A small pinch of salt
- Serving suggestions: bread, cookies, fruit, date syrup, jam (see more options above)
Instructions
- Add the cream, cornstarch, and salt to a quart mason jar. Shake the jar for about 30 seconds, just until there are no more lumps (but not so much that you make whipped cream). *
- Add the cornstarch/cream mixture to a small saucepan, turn the heat to medium, and stir constantly until the qaymar comes to a simmer and thickens (about 5 to 7 minutes). Once it starts to simmer, remove from heat.
- Pour into a container for storage. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (12 is ideal).
- Spoon into a bowl and serve.
Notes
* If you don’t have a jar handy, you can add a quarter cup of cream to the cornstarch in a bowl. Whisk them together until there are no lumps, and then slowly add the rest of the whipping cream as you continue whisking.
