Category: Dairy - Cream

Season: All

This is a lighter version of double cream, with at least 35 per cent fat, and it whips beautifully without being quite so rich.

Whipping cream is also good as a pouring cream, again, if you want something that’s not too rich.

If you’re not Scottish (Scots don’t approve), try pouring whipping cream over hot porridge, along with some unrefined brown sugar to melt and marble into little pools.

Whipping cream is good for swirling on top of desserts, giving you that ‘not-quite-so-high-in-calories’ satisfaction.
