With Thanksgiving just two weeks away, we should be beginning to prepare the menu for this great food and family day. One of the best parts are the desserts, with pumpkin pie being the most famous. So before you place a dollop of cream on your pie, do you know which one is going on your pie. If not let me explain the difference between HEAVY CREAM and WHIPPING CREAM. Creams are labeled according to the amount of fat. Under federal standards WHIPPING CREAM must contain 30 percent to 36 percent milk fat, and can contain stabilizers and emulsifiers to help in whipping it. HEAVY CREAMS must contain between 36 percent to 40 percent milk fat. Go for the homemade Heavy Cream. Gobble, Gobble all.

Ciao!
