What it is
Whipped light cream is a dairy product made from milk. It contains a lower percentage of milk fat than heavy cream or whipping cream. This cream is typically aerated and sweetened, giving it a light and fluffy texture. It is ready to use straight from the container. The product is often found in the refrigerated section of grocery stores.
