class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Whipping cream<\/strong>, also known as <strong>heavy cream<\/strong> in some countries, is a high-fat dairy cream that contains at least 30% milkfat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is made by separating the fat from fresh milk. The layer of fat that rises to the top is skimmed off to collect the whipping cream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exact standards for milkfat percentage in whipping cream varies by country:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>In the U.S.<\/strong>, whipping cream must have&nbsp;<strong>30-36%<\/strong>&nbsp;milkfat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In&nbsp;<strong>Canada<\/strong>, whipping cream has&nbsp;<strong>33-35%<\/strong>&nbsp;milkfat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>In the U.K.<\/strong>, it's usually referred to as&nbsp;<strong>double cream<\/strong>&nbsp;and has around&nbsp;<strong>48%<\/strong>&nbsp;milkfat.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Whipping cream is not processed significantly beyond separating the fat from the milk. It does not contain any added sugars or stabilizers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has a pale white color and a rich, creamy taste from the high fat content. Whipping cream is perishable and must be refrigerated. Unopened, it will last 7-10 days past the printed expiration date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong>Key Takeaway:<\/strong> Whipping cream is the high-fat layer skimmed off the top of fresh milk.

It is also nearly always sweetened with sugar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweetened condensed milk contains about 40-45% sugar, which gives it a very thick, sticky texture and a glossy appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is made by heating milk and sugar together under vacuum to boil off water while preventing the milk from burning. The condensed milk is then canned to preserve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Condensed milk has a creamy yellow color and a very sweet flavor. It is shelf-stable and can be stored unopened at room temperature for many months. Refrigerate after opening and use within 2 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p><strong>Key Takeaway:<\/strong> Condensed milk is milk that has been concentrated and sweetened by removing most of the water and adding sugar.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Whipping_Cream_vs_Condensed_Milk_Comparison\"><\/span>Whipping Cream vs Condensed Milk Comparison<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is an overview comparing the characteristics of whipping cream versus condensed milk:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><thead><tr><th>Whipping Cream<\/th><th>Condensed Milk<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>A high-fat dairy cream separated from milk<\/td><td>Milk that has been concentrated and sweetened<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Contains 30-48% milkfat<\/td><td>Contains 8-9% milkfat<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>No added sugar<\/td><td>Has 40-45% added sugar<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Thin, pourable liquid<\/td><td>Very thick and sticky<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Off-white color<\/td><td>Caramel yellow color<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Rich, creamy flavor<\/td><td>Very sweet flavor<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Must be refrigerated<\/td><td>Shelf-stable when unopened<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lasts 7-10 days refrigerated<\/td><td>Lasts months unopened<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Made by separating fat from milk<\/td><td>Made by evaporating water and adding sugar<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Higher in fat, lower in carbs\/sugar<\/td><td>Lower in fat, very high in carbs\/sugar<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>More versatile for savory and sweet recipes<\/td><td>Mainly used in desserts<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Let's go over these differences in more detail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Consistency_and_Texture\"><\/span>Consistency and Texture<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The most noticeable difference is in the consistency and texture. <strong>Whipping cream<\/strong> is thin and pourable, while <strong>condensed milk<\/strong> is extremely thick and sticky like a glue or syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because whipping cream is simply the fat from milk, whereas condensed milk has had up to 60% of the water removed to concentrate it down to a thick liquid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fat_Content\"><\/span>Fat Content<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Whipping cream<\/strong> is very high in fat since it's purified milkfat, with a minimum of 30% fat and up to 48% typically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Condensed milk<\/strong> retains the original fat content of milk, around 8-9% fat.

Whipping relies on heavy cream's high fat content to incorporate air and create fluffy whipped cream. The low fat in condensed milk means it won't whip up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_condensed_milk_healthier_than_whipping_cream\"><\/span>Is condensed milk healthier than whipping cream?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, whipping cream is healthier overall. While high in fat, whipping cream is a natural dairy product. Condensed milk has added sugar with little nutritional value. However, both should be consumed in moderation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_make_whipped_cream_from_evaporated_milk\"><\/span>Can you make whipped cream from evaporated milk?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not usually. Evaporated milk only has around 5-10% fat, while whipping cream needs at least 30% fat in order to whip up. Adding sugar or gelatin to evaporated milk can help stabilize it a bit, but it still won't whip up like <a href=\"https:\/\/aglassandahalffullproductions.com\/what-is-whipping-cream\/\">heavy cream<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_condensed_milk_good_in_coffee\"><\/span>Is condensed milk good in coffee?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, adding a dollop of condensed milk to coffee is popular in many parts of the world. The condensed milk provides sweetness and a creamy, frothy texture. It pairs especially well with iced coffee rather than hot coffee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Does_condensed_milk_curdle\"><\/span>Does condensed milk curdle?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, condensed milk can curdle if boiled or added to extremely hot solutions. The proteins may curdle and separate similar to what happens with regular milk. To prevent curdling, mix condensed milk into lukewarm ingredients instead of boiling liquids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whipping cream and condensed milk have significantly different nutritional values, textures, flavors, and ideal uses in recipes based on how they are produced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding the unique qualities of each allows you to use them properly.
