Description

Lactose-free whipping cream is a specially processed dairy ingredient that has significantly eliminated or reduced lactose, the natural sugar in milk, to make it suitable for people with lactose intolerance. Its texture is thick and creamy, ideal for whipping and using in both sweet and savory recipes, from desserts like mousses and cakes to sauces and creams to accompany main dishes.

This product is usually obtained from cow's milk treated with enzymes or physical processes that break down the lactose, preserving much of the flavor and quality of traditional cream.

Regarding its properties, lactose-free whipping cream provides necessary fats to give body and volume to preparations, in addition to being a more digestible option for those who have difficulty consuming conventional dairy. Nutritionally, it is rich in calories and healthy fats, and may contain calcium and vitamins A and D, similar to regular cream.

In different Hispanic American countries, this product may also be known as:

  • Lactose-free skimmed whipping cream
  • Lactose-free whipping cream
  • Lactose-free whipping cream (especially in Mexico and nearby countries)
  • Lactose-free plant-based cream (when a non-dairy base is used)

It is an ideal ingredient for those looking for healthy alternatives suitable for the lactose intolerant, without giving up the characteristic texture and flavor of traditional cream in their recipes.
