Alright, let’s talk about this heavy whipping cream stuff, you know, the kind you find at that Smart and Final place. I ain’t no fancy chef or nothin’, but I know a thing or two about cookin’ and bakin’ from scratch. My old mama, she taught me everything.
Now, they call it “heavy whipping cream” at Smart and Final, but don’t let that big name fool ya. It’s just cream, you know, the thick stuff. Some folks call it heavy cream, some call it heavy whipping cream. Sounds like they’re tryin’ to confuse us old folks, but it’s all the same darn thing. I heard tell it’s gotta have a certain amount of fat in it, like, 36 percent or somethin’. That’s what makes it so good, I reckon.
- You can find it in the cold section, where they keep all the milk and yogurt and such.
- Look for the cartons, they usually got pictures of whipped cream or somethin’ on ’em.
- And don’t be shy to ask someone if you can’t find it. That’s what they’re there for, ain’t it?
I use this heavy cream for all sorts of things. Makes the best whipped cream, ya know, the kind you put on top of pies and cakes. My grandkids, they just love it. And it ain’t hard to make neither. You just pour some of that cream in a bowl, add a little sugar, maybe some vanilla if you’re feelin’ fancy, and then you whip it up good. I use an old hand mixer, but I guess you could use one of them fancy stand mixers too.
But it ain’t just for whipped cream, no sirree. I put it in my coffee sometimes, makes it nice and creamy. And if I’m makin’ a sauce or a soup, a little bit of heavy cream makes it taste richer, you know? Like it’s got more body to it. My grandma used to say, “a little cream makes everything better,” and she was right about that.
I seen them coffee shops usin’ all sorts of creamers, some fancy names I can’t even pronounce. But me, I stick to the real stuff. This heavy whipping cream from Smart and Final, it’s good quality and it don’t cost an arm and a leg. That’s important when you’re feedin’ a family, let me tell ya.
Now, some folks might say, “Oh, it’s too much fat, it’s not healthy.” Well, I say everything in moderation. A little bit of cream ain’t gonna hurt ya. We didn’t used to worry so much about that stuff back in my day, and we all turned out just fine. We ate real food, not all that processed stuff they got nowadays.
And let me tell ya, this heavy cream makes the best mashed potatoes you ever tasted. Just boil up some potatoes, mash ’em good, then add some butter, salt, pepper, and a good splash of heavy cream. Mix it all up and you got yourself a dish fit for a king. Or a hungry family, which is pretty much the same thing in my book.
I also use it in my cakes and pies. Makes them extra moist and delicious. Especially when I make a cheesecake, gotta have that heavy cream to make it nice and smooth and rich. There’s this one recipe for a pumpkin pie I got from my neighbor, uses heavy cream, and it’s so good it will make you slap your mama! (But don’t actually do that, ya hear?)
So, there you have it. Heavy whipping cream, heavy cream, whatever you wanna call it, it’s good stuff. And you can get it at Smart and Final, which is mighty convenient if you ask me. Now go on and get yourself some and make somethin’ delicious. Your family will thank ya for it.
And don’t forget, if you can’t find it, just ask someone who works there. They’re usually pretty helpful. Or, if you’re lucky, you might find it on sale! That’s always a good day, when you can save a little money on your groceries.
Anyways, that’s all I got to say about heavy whipping cream. It’s good stuff, plain and simple. Go get yourself some and see for yourself.
