Cooking CreamAdd an extra touch of indulgence to a favourite recipe, by selecting the right cooking cream. This natural cream derived from the milk enhances flavour, enriches texture and makes foods all the more appetising. There are several varieties of creams available, in a variety of forms to suit varied tastes and applications. Single cream This type of cooking cream is also known as light cream. Since it has a low fat content, it cannot be whipped nor should be boiled. Single cream is ideal for pouring over sweet and savoury dishes such as desserts, custards and quiches. Double Cream Thick and rich in fat makes this cooking cream one and a half times its volume on being whipped. It is the ideal cream for cooking and does not get spoilt on boiling.

Whipping Cream This cream has similar properties to those of double cream. It is mainly used for making desserts, light, airy souffles, trifles and cake fillings, as it can be whipped to double its volume. However, make sure not to over whip, because at times the butterfat tends to be released (warm countries). Secondly, if the cream is allowed to stand will lose volume, therefore use immediately.

Half and Half Cream Half and Half is a commerical American dairy product made from a mix of whole milk and cream in equal proprotion. Half and half is not a substitute for cream, since the butterfat content is too low for whipping. It is mainly used as a creamer in coffees and ideal for many low fat cooking recipes, where a creamy flavour and texture is desired without the high butterfat. Clotted Cream It is also know as Devonshire or Devon Cream. It is a thick, rich, yellowish in colour made by heating the cream to evaporate some of its liquid. It is traditionally served with Devonshire tea and piped in scones. Apart from this it is also used as an accompaniment to desserts, in place of regular cream and in the preparation of dishes such as risottos and even in sauces. Buy Clotted Cream 
Sour Cream This cream soured by adding a culture to fresh single cream similar to those used in yogurts. Sour creams slightly tart flavour perfectly complements baked potatoes and is also used in dips and salad dressings. Buy Sour Cream Powder 
Storing Creams Creams have a short life span and therefore should be kept in the refrigerator and used within 3-5 days of opening. Double cream and whipping cream freeze well, but single cream should only be frozen if it has been incorporated into a cooked dish. Whipping cream usually have a long shelf life which could range up to months. Move from cooking cream to food for thought Return to homepage |
