Question about Heavy Cream Powder

[gpalex]

I recently bought a pound of Heavy Cream Powder online. It did not come with instructions for reconsituting it. I am not able to get in touch with the company. Would any one be able to help me? I would appreciate it.

Thank you,

depends what level of fat content you want. 40%...50% etc?

Just like milk, cream is fluid because it has moisture...read water.

So, depending on your application, you are the one who should decide how much moisture to add back in.

Less for a good thick alfredo sauce, more if you're going to pour it in your coffee. Play around with a little to see what it gives you, take note of the results and go from there

The powder I have has a 72% butterfat content. Should I still do as you said?

Thank you,

yes you should...the remainder of the ingredients should basically be milk solids.

Think of it like butter when you clarify it and let it settle.

Milk solids/moisture on the bottom, fat in the middle, and the salt floats to the top. those 3 ingredients equal butter. The only reason butter has salt is because it's a cheap ingredient.

Must have been expensive to buy, I'm curious what you paid.

Do you not have a fridge?..Why not just buy heavy cream at the store?
