But please with cream! The only question is – which ones? Are sweet cream and whipped cream the same? And if not – what’s the difference? You can find the answer and tips for cream substitutes here.
What is cream
Whether sweet or sour cream, crème fraîche, or sour cream – all these forms are made from cream – the high-fat part of untreated raw milk. You can even do it yourself – leave the raw milk and skim off the cream after a while. If you then add lactic acid bacteria from the raw milk, you get sour cream or sour cream.
What is sweet cream
You get the sweet temptation in liquid form. It comes with a fat content of 30-35%. The high-fat content ensures that it does not flake when it is hot and can also be whipped up wonderfully. Thanks to its increased sugar content, however, it also has a good impact on the calorie account with 300 kcal per 100 g.
Differences in whipped cream
There is no real difference between sweet cream and whipped cream. Strictly speaking, the cream must not be called whipped cream as long as it has not been whipped. In some areas, whipped cream, whipped cream, or sweet cream is a common term for it. In many recipes, you will find sweet cream in the list of ingredients. It’s just a hint so you don’t get the sour cream.
Tip: The cream just won’t set. We’ll show you how to make your whipped cream stiff.
Substitute sweet cream
cream out? No problem! It can easily be replaced by related products in the refrigerated section:
For savory dishes:
- sour cream
- cream cheese
- coffee creamer
- Egg & milk mixed
- vegan cream alternatives
- coconut milk
For sweet dishes:
- yogurt
- Quark
- vegan cream alternatives
- coconut milk
Tip: Coconut milk is wonderfully whipped and is, therefore, a wonderful substitute for whipped cream. To do this, whip the solid part of the (chilled!) coconut milk with whipped cream until it has reached the desired consistency. Due to its own taste, however, it does not go well with every dish.
