Just to clarify the point:

Clotted cream is cream. 
It tastes like unsweetened whipping cream.
All forms of cream are a combination of milk and butterfat. Half and 
Half is 10% butterfat, whipping cream is about 40%. Clotted cream and 
heavy cream are higher. Real clotted cream is close to 100% 
butterfat. If you can get non-homogenised milk (or are old enough to 
remember), clotted cream is the stuff you scoop off the top of the 
bottle when it has settled.

Megan Knight, who when she isn't writing websites bakes the most 
decadent and fattening pastries imaginable, and has two jars of 
clotted cream in her fridge for this weekend's effort.
