About Cream, fluid, light whipping

Cream is the rich, high-butterfat layer that rises to the top of fresh milk, skimmed off and sold in a range of styles defined by how much fat they hold. Light or single cream is pourable, half-and-half is lighter still, and heavy or whipping cream is thick enough to whip into soft peaks, while cultured versions become sour cream and crème fraîche and slow-cooked British clotted cream turns dense and spoonable.

Cream is calorie-dense and a concentrated source of milk fat along with the fat-soluble vitamins A and D and some calcium. In the kitchen it enriches coffee, whips into toppings for pies and desserts, thickens soups, sauces, and pasta, sets custards and ganache, and adds body to ice cream. Because higher fat content whips more reliably, heavy cream is the baker's choice for stable peaks. Keep cream tightly sealed and well chilled, use it before the date on the carton, and note that most creams also freeze for cooking.
