what is the milk cream? This is a question that many who start in the world of cooking may have; And it is that this ingredient of simple preparation, but very useful, can be made with just a couple of foods, but you can use it in a large number of recipes.

Likewise, it should be noted that its neutral flavor, as long as no extra salt or sugar is added, allows it to complement the ingredients of both sweet and savory recipes. Thanks to this, the milk cream can accompany you in desserts, creams, sauces and many other things.

Preparation

Turn the burner on to medium low heat and place a saucepan on top. When it starts to heat up, pour in the cup of whole milk along with the 2 tablespoons of butter.

Now, with the help of a wooden paddle, stir everything with gentle circular movements while turning the heat to low for a couple of minutes so that the butter melts. Incorporate both ingredients keeping a constant movement and let it cook for approximately 5 minutes.

At the same time, you can’t stop stirring or take your eyes off it, as the temperature should keep the mixture close to the boiling point, but never quite there. If not, the milk would burn and the cream would spoil.

Continue stirring until you complete the 5 minutes of cooking and you will notice that the milk cream begins to thicken and turn yellow. This is completely normal, due to the integration of the butterfat in the milk.

Mixed

Once the process is finished, take the mixture to the blender and activate it for approximately 3 minutes at low speed or until it turns a lighter color. If you don’t have a blender handy to make the recipe, you can also mix the cream with a hand mixer.

Storage

To finish the recipe, you must pour the milk cream into a glass container previously sterilized with hot water and that has its respective airtight lid. Take it to the fridge for at least 5 hours and your homemade milk cream will be ready.

The cream of milk has its own percentage of fat and sugar, which differentiates it from the also popular evaporated milk and condensed milk. However, as you can see, it is simple to prepare and you can do it on a butane gas, electric or even induction stove. In addition, you will need very few ingredients, which are usually available in any kitchen. So you can have cream on hand whenever you need it to make your recipes.
