Cream

Cream is the thick, high-fat layer skimmed from the top of milk before homogenization. With a rich, smooth texture, it's versatile in cooking, from sauces to desserts.

Available in several types like heavy, light, or whipped, it adds indulgence to any dish.

With a smooth texture that feels like a little bit of heaven on your tongue, cream can be whipped into clouds for desserts, stirred into soups for silkiness, or poured into coffee for a decadent start to your day. From a simple dollop on a slice of pie to transforming a dish into something delicious, cream is culinary magic in liquid form.


Beyond the kitchen, Cream has become the star of the show in skincare products. Its moisturizing properties make it a treat for dry skin. But let’s talk taste, cream has this comforting richness that's both sweet and subtly complex. It's like a cozy blanket for your taste buds.


Cream adds texture and richness, making it the secret ingredient behind the creamy mouthfeel of many beloved dishes. In the fridge, it'll hang out with you for about a week or two after opening, if it's unopened, you've got a bit longer. If you can't use it all before it expires, pour it into ice cube trays and freeze it.


Next time you're simmering a sauce or soup, pop in a frozen 'cream cube' for an instant richness upgrade. And for those budget-savvy chefs, you can even make your own cream at home by skimming the top layer off full-fat milk left standing for a few hours.


You'll find cream chilling in the dairy aisle, playing it cool next to its milk and butter buddies. Need a stand-in for cream? Milk and butter can get together as a substitute, or use coconut cream for a vegan twist.


In terms of nutrition, cream is calorie-dense, full of fats (but hey, they're the good kind), and it's also a source of vitamins A, D, and calcium. Just remember, a little goes a long way, both for your culinary creations and your waistline.
