What is "cream"?

Cream is a rich and creamy dairy product that is obtained by skimming the fatty layer from milk. It has a smooth and velvety texture, and it adds a luxurious richness to various dishes. Cream is often used in cooking and baking to enhance flavors, thicken sauces, and provide a luscious mouthfeel. It can be whipped into soft peaks to create whipped cream, which is a popular topping for desserts and beverages. Cream comes in different varieties, such as heavy cream, light cream, and half-and-half, each with varying levels of fat content. Its indulgent and decadent nature makes it a versatile ingredient in both sweet and savory culinary creations.
