creams such as heavy cream, light cream, and whipping
cream, explained. Thanks to Nina Kochmer, Facloryville.
who sent in the explanation that appeared in “The Joy of
Cooking," p 484, 1964 edition and to Royell Bashore,
Lebanon Li'l Dairy Miss for the following explanation.
Heavy cream contains at least 36 percent milkfat. It
whips easily and holds its whipped texture longer than
light whipping cream.
Light cream, also called coffee cream or table cream,
contains at least 18 percent but less than 30 percent milk
fat. 1 tablespoon approximately equals 30 calories.
Whipping cream is also called light whipping cream
and contains at least 30 percent but not more than 36 per
cent milkfat. 1 tablespoon equals 45-55 calories.
Half and half is a mixture of milk and cream that con
tains at least 10.5 percent and not more than 18 percent
milkfat. One tablespoon equals approximately 20 calo
ries. Sour cream is a heavy thick mixture made by fer
menting cream with harmless bacteria or acidolphis. One
tablespoon equals approximately 30 calories but comes
in reduced fat varieties.
