Alright, let’s talk about this heavy whipping cream stuff, ya know? I seen it at the store, Save A Lot, they got it. And I figured, why not? Gotta see what all the fuss is about.
First thing I learned, this ain’t just for fancy desserts, no siree. You can do a whole heap of things with it. Like, you can put it in your pasta sauce, makes it all thick and creamy. My grandkids, they love that stuff. Real tasty, let me tell ya.
- Thickens pasta sauces real good.
- Makes ice cream without all that churnin’ mess.
- Good for caramel and other sauces too, even the spicy ones.
Now, some folks say there’s a difference between heavy cream and heavy whipping cream. Sounds like a bunch of city talk to me. Far as I can tell, they both work just fine. You can heat it up, boil it even, and it don’t go all weird and watery. But don’t go puttin’ no lemon juice or wine in it, that might make it curdle, ya hear?
One time, I was makin’ this dish, and it needed somethin’ extra. So I poured some of that heavy whipping cream in there, right while it was fryin’ on the stove. Added some of that parmesan cheese on top, too. My, oh my, it was good! Even my old man, who complains about everything, he ate it right up.
And if you’re makin’ whipped cream, the real fluffy stuff, there’s a trick to it. You gotta put that cream carton upside down in the fridge for a few hours, maybe even overnight. That way, all the thick stuff goes to the bottom. Then you take that thick part and whip it up real good. It gets so fluffy, like a cloud, you could just eat it with a spoon.
And let me tell ya, this stuff lasts a good while in the fridge, so you don’t gotta worry about it goin’ bad too quick. I bought a big ol’ carton at Save A Lot, and it’s been keepin’ just fine. I use it a little bit here, a little bit there, and it’s still good. Saves me a trip to the store, that’s for sure.
I even heard you can use it to make ice cream, without havin’ to use one of them fancy ice cream makers. Just mix it up with some sugar and flavorin’, and stick it in the freezer. I ain’t tried it yet, but it’s on my list. Gotta see if it’s as good as they say.
And if you’re runnin’ low on milk, you can even use a bit of this heavy whipping cream in your coffee. Makes it real rich and creamy. Just a little bit though, cause it’s pretty strong stuff. Don’t want your coffee tastin’ like butter, ya know?
So yeah, this heavy whipping cream, it’s a real lifesaver in the kitchen. You can use it for so many things, it’s just plain handy to have around. And it don’t cost an arm and a leg neither, especially if you get it at Save A Lot. They got good prices there, that’s for sure.
It really saves a lot of hassle when cooking you know? Like, if somethin’ is thin, just pour some of this in there and boom, thick! Or if somethin’ ain’t tasty enough, this stuff adds a little richness, a little somethin’ somethin’. I tell ya, it’s a secret weapon in the kitchen.
I used to think it was just for fancy folks, but not anymore. Now, I use it all the time. And let me tell you, it makes my cookin’ taste a whole lot better. My grandkids always say, “Grandma, this is the best!” And that makes me happy, you know? It’s the little things, like good food and happy grandkids, that make life worth livin’.
So next time you are at the store, go grab a carton of heavy whipping cream and give it a try. You’ll be amazed at all the things you can do with it. It’s a real game-changer, I’m tellin’ ya. And if you are like me, and like to save a buck or two, head on over to Save A Lot, that’s where I always get mine.
