What is heavy cream?

It is no secret that whipped cream is a delicious and tender dessert that can be easily prepared at home. However, only special cream is suitable for whipping, its fat content should be at least 30%. If it is difficult for you to get this type, we will share how to make heavy cream from milk and butter at home with you.

How to make heavy cream

Frankly, sometimes it is challenging to buy fat cream that is suitable for whipping in stores. To make cream at home, you need only milk and butter. Take milk of any fat content, but the heavier the fat in the butter, the better, at least 72%. Do not use margarine - just high-quality butter.

For example, if you need cream:

  • 33-35% fat, take milk and butter in equal proportions.
  • The cream fat content of about 25% can be obtained from 500 milliliters of milk and 280 grams of butter (you can take two times less if you need less cream).
  • Well, less fatty (there is no problem with it) -15% cream – is cooked from 630 milliliters of milk and 175 grams of butter, respectively.

Steps:

Step 1

Take butter and milk. For example, milk with 1.7% fat and butter - 72%.

Step 2

Pour 200 milliliters of milk into a small saucepan and add 200 grams of butter. In general, the butter can be used whole or cut it into slices.

Step 3

Put the dish on medium heat and while stirring let the butter dissolve completely. Boiling the mixture of milk and butter is not necessary - just warm everything up so that the butter melts and floats on the surface. As a result, the mass will be quite hot.

Mix the hot mixture thoroughly. It is more convenient and quicker to do it in a blender, but you can try it with the help of a high-power manual or stationary mixer. Pour the milk and butter (still hot) into the bowl and turn on the blender.

Step 5

Mix everything about 5-10 minutes (depending on the power of the device). The mixture would become foamy on the surface.

Step 6

Pour the already prepared fatty cream into a suitable storage container and let it cool down completely. After that, put the cream in the refrigerator for 6-12 hours. If you make the cream in the evening, leave it in the refrigerator till morning and the heavy cream is fully prepared.

If you are going to make cream for cakes or pastries, immediately add sugar powder, vanilla (if desired) to the cold cream.

Heavy cream recipes are different, though the cream can be used as an independent dessert (in this case, serve it with fresh fruits and berries) or as a base for homemade ice cream. Heavy cream in recipes is also a delicious layer for biscuits or a base for creating unique types of delicate and airy cream.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari. It is unarguable that the President arrays the most competence-challenged cabinet ever in the chronicle of governance in Nigeria. Yes, a recession cabinet. Fredrick Nwabufo Here is a cabin...
