About Single cream

Single cream is a light dairy product with a smooth texture and mild flavor, containing around 18% fat. Made from cow’s milk, it is produced by separating the creamy layer from the milk and homogenizing it for consistency. It is commonly used in British and European cuisine, ideal for pouring over desserts or as a lighter option in recipes that require a subtle richness without overwhelming fat content. While single cream is lower in fat compared to double cream, it is still a source of saturated fats and calories, so moderate use is advisable in a balanced diet. It provides some beneficial nutrients like calcium for bone health and small amounts of vitamins such as A and D. However, it lacks the thickness to be whipped and is unsuitable for recipes needing a firmer texture. Single cream’s versatility makes it a popular choice for enhancing flavors in both sweet and savory dishes.
