I found a recipe that includes light cream but can't find it in the dairy. Does it use a different name?

Answer 1

I don't know what you are making, but I think you can use just regular cream, table cream, whatever they are calling it. The only time you have to worry about grabbing the right cream is when you are going to whip it. Cream for whipping has a greater fat content.

Answer 2

OK when you see the shelf that has the cream on it. One carton is going to say "Heavy Whipping Cream", the other will say, Just "Whipping cream" The one that says "Whipping cream" is the light one. Heres a tip on whipping cream, whip in a packet of knox non flavored Gelatine and the whipped cream will hold it's shape for the next day.

Answer 3

You must be reading from an American recipe but are located in another country. Most countries (but not the US) will label the butterfat content of creams; American "light" cream is I believe 10 or 11 percent. It's called "Table Cream" in Canadian English.

Answer 4

usually it is right in the same section as heavy cream, canned whipped cream, and coffee creamer. I have not seen it called a different name that I can recall..........ask someone who works at the grocery store where it is located

Answer 5

Light Cream = Half & Half

Answer 6

You can use half and half which is half cream and half milk which is light cream, the lightest they sell. Also I believe the regular whipping cream is light also.

Answer 7

depends on what you are using it for but you might be ok with Lite Half and Half (cream), light whipping cream.

good luck

Answer 8

it's just regular cream, as opposed to heavy cream or whipping cream.
