whole milk, or whipping cream
Whole milk or regular cream is typically used.
Well, darling, heavy whipping cream is like the rich, fancy cousin of milk. It has a higher fat content, making it thicker and perfect for whipping up into fluffy peaks. Milk, on the other hand, is more like the reliable, everyday sibling - great for drinking, baking, or adding a splash to your coffee. So, if you're feeling a bit bougie, go for the heavy whipping cream; if not, stick with the milk, honey.
Yes, whipping cream may contain trace amounts of zinc, primarily due to the presence of milk and cream, which are derived from cows that consume zinc-rich feed. However, the levels of zinc in whipping cream are generally low and not significant compared to other dietary sources. If you need zinc for nutritional reasons, it's better to seek it from more concentrated sources like meat, seafood, nuts, or whole grains.
You can make a whipped cream-like topping using half-and-half, but it won't be as stable or fluffy as traditional whipped cream made from heavy cream. Combine half-and-half, powdered sugar, and vanilla in a mixing bowl and whip until it reaches a desired consistency. Whole milk, however, is not suitable for whipping as it lacks the fat content needed to hold air and create a stable foam. For best results, use heavy cream instead.
They are the same - can both be used to make whipped cream and can be used, when say making your own Alfredo Fettuccine Cheese Sauce. There is a difference though in light cream, half-n-half and heavy cream.
No, you need at least around 30% cream (milkfat), to be able to whip it. This usually means you need at least a light whipping cream, although most will prefer heavy whipping cream, as it's more reliable and stable. It is possible for certain light creams (not whipping cream) to have enough fat to whip, but they usually fall in at around 20% fat.
Mascarpone, an Italian cream-cheese with 13g of fat per ounce.
There should be no sugar in cream. If you mean whipped cream, commercial pre-made coffee creamer, Cool Whip, or another cream based food product, the amount will vary. Any processed cream based product probably has sugar added. Even whipping cream or half and half may contain binders, fillers, added colors or preservatives. Read the labels and otherwise, cream is just cream.Cream is the naturally occurring fat that rises to the top of milk as it separates. Whole milk is 4% milk fat content. Half and half is just that, half cream and half milk (about 19% milk fat). Whipping cream or "heavy cream" should be closer to 35% milk fat.
In the whole world vanilla is the favorite ice cream topping!
Recipes I have used, and that came with my yogurt maker say you can use: Whole milk 2% milk 1% milk Fat free milk Soy Milk or Almond milk to make yogurt. I have never seen a recipe using cream for yogurt making. So I think all purpose cream would make a heavy yogurt and so would whipping cream. When I made yogurt using 2% milk it is much lighter than yogurt make with whole milk and takes longer to cure. The yogurt maker suggested 10 hours for whole milk yogurt and 12 hours for 2% yogurt. Good luck.
I would say no. Mascarpone is sweet and creamy whereas ricotta is drier and bland. I would recommend you use a cream cheese (like Philadelphia) instead. You can use 8oz of Cream Cheese, 1/4 cup of Heavy whipping cream and 2 1/2 tbsp of Sour Cream and whip it together... This is VERY similar...! Just don't substitute anything in this mixture, and you should be set! Ricotta cheese is similar to cottage cheese. They can be substituted. It is also easy to make ricotta; whole milk, heavy cream, salt and white vinegar. dairy curdles. Mascarpone is similar to cream cheese just sweeter. It is used in desserts, where as the cream cheese usage would require more sugar.
