Single cream
Single cream is a type of dairy product that comes from cow's milk. It is a rich and creamy ingredient that contains a lower fat content compared to double cream, making it a popular choice in cooking and baking.
To make single cream, fresh milk is allowed to stand and the cream naturally rises to the top. The cream is then skimmed off the top, leading to a smooth and slightly thick consistency. Single cream is not usually sweetened or flavoured, giving it a versatile profile for both sweet and savoury dishes.
Single cream is commonly used in a variety of dishes to add richness and creaminess. It is often found in soups, sauces, desserts like panna cotta, custards, and even some coffee drinks. Its role is to enhance flavours, provide a smooth texture, and add depth to dishes without overwhelming them. On food labels, it may appear as 'single cream' or 'light cream'.
