Description

Sweet cream is a dairy product widely used in cooking to prepare desserts and recipes that require a smooth and creamy texture. It is a milk cream with a moderate fat content, which is not fermented or acidified, giving it a sweet and neutral flavor, ideal for mixing with other ingredients without altering the flavor profile.

Its origin comes from the natural separation of fat from fresh milk, which is then processed to obtain this cream with a liquid or semi-solid consistency, depending on the manufacturer. Sweet cream is essential in pastry making and in the preparation of sauces, mousses, ice creams, and milkshakes.

Among its nutritional properties, its contribution of healthy fats, proteins, and calcium stands out, although it should be consumed in moderation due to its caloric content. Additionally, it provides a creamy texture and extra smoothness to culinary preparations.

In the context of Latin America, sweet cream can also be found under other names depending on the region, such as nata para batir in Mexico and Central America, crema de leche in countries like Argentina, Colombia, or Chile, and sometimes as nata líquida.
