2.Remove the malai with a spoon and collect it in a clean container else you can use a strainer to take the malai.  malai will depends on  type of milk  ie full cream or fat free

3.Keep collecting the malai in the same container everyday when you boil the milk and keep in freezer. I usually collect the malai twice  a day. 
Keep refrigerated and let it rest  for minimum 1 day for your instant cream say if you need just few tbsps.Just whisk it well and Your cream is ready to use. 




For bulk quantity  keep collecting for atleast 20-30 days or till you think you have a fair amount of malai collected.

4. Just whisk it well using a hand whisk for few mins until its creamy without any lumps.You can also use a electric whisk to beat it.Your cream is ready for use.

5. your batch of homemade fresh cream is ready to use .
