When cooking, this light cream can be gently heated and incorporated into sauces, soups, or stews to add body and a smooth texture. It is important not to boil it vigorously, as this can cause it to separate. For desserts, it can be whipped to create a lighter topping or folded into mousses and custards. It can also be added to coffee or tea for a creamy finish. Its semi-thick consistency makes it easy to measure and control in recipes.
