Has anyone used Heavy Cream Powder? (diet, freezing, healthy, coffee)

[Jkgourmet]

I don't bake.
I don't cook with cream very often, and can't always use up the entire container. I've used buttermilk powder with no problems.
I've just heard of heavy cream powder. Anyone ever used it?

I've never heard of it.

That would be handy to have on the shelf. I wonder if it is whip able?

Never heard of it, but think I will look into it. I, like you, can't use up an entire container of cream, even 1/2 and 1/2 I buy it at Aldi's and it is so cheap it doesn't kill me not to use the whole thing, but would rather use something that would keep: same with butter milk. Very rarely do I use it so when I buy a quart it goes bad. As a kid my parents did use powdered milk some, even for drinking and it was fine.

That's good to know. I have some but have never opened it.
(I'll sour milk with lemon juice for biscuits etc)

I use thinned yogurt for buttermilk. Works fine and produces a lovely baked product.

Well, buttermilk won't ever go to waste in a Southerner's kitchen. The biggest challenge is staying out of it till you get around to making the cornbread.


As to "Cream Powder" I suspect that it's going to turn rancid quickly due to high fat content. Maybe just use what you need and take the rest to work and leave it next to the coffee machine? Or couldn't you buy a pint of cream and freeze what you don't need?

I had powdered buttermilk and it it worked well, never turned rancid and it's been over a year.

I would definitely try it, along with the powdered cream cheese.

You can't store cream in powder form in room temp without some kind of emulsifier or binder. The product is most likely a highly processed hydrogenated form that is basically transfat which is the worst thing you can eat.

Imagine how can they make real butter into powder because heavy cream is similar to butter.

[Jkgourmet]

Yes, you have to keep the buttermilk powder in the fridge. I assume the same is true for the heavy cream powder.


If it's transfat or whatever, I don't really care. I don't use that much of it. (and the rest of my diet kinda shows that I really don't care about "healthy" foods.)


Freezing is an idea I hadn't considered. I'll look into that one!
