Heavy Cream

Heavy Cream

Everyday

Heavy cream is a high-fat dairy product containing 36-40% milkfat, separated from fresh milk through centrifugal processing. Its rich fat content allows it to thicken sauces without curdling when heated and whip into stable peaks for desserts, distinguishing it from lower-fat alternatives like half-and-half. While valued for adding luxurious texture to both sweet and savory dishes, it provides significant saturated fat and calories per tablespoon, with trace lactose content requiring consideration for sensitive diets.

Macro Impact
