Professional confectioners use the brewing method to prepare milk cream. Thanks to this, homemade cream turns out thick, with a delicate milky taste. To achieve the correct consistency, you should choose milk with 3.2% fat content.

How to cook Milk cream

Step 1

Prepare the milk base. Pour the flour into a saucepan and place it on medium heat. Stirring constantly with a whisk, add milk little by little. As soon as the mixture boils, keep it on the heat for another half a minute, then remove and leave to cool for 10 minutes. Then cover the cream with cling film for 15 minutes, then put it in the refrigerator for 60 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare the milk cream. To do this, beat the room temperature butter with the powdered sugar with a mixer for 4 minutes. Gradually add the milk base and continue beating the milk cake cream until a uniform consistency is achieved.

Milk cream - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of flour for the milk cream base?

Yes, you can substitute all-purpose flour with cornstarch or a gluten-free flour blend for a gluten-free version, but the texture may vary slightly.

How long can I store the milk cream in the refrigerator?

The milk cream can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.

Can I make this milk cream dairy-free?

Yes, replace the milk with a plant-based alternative like almond or coconut milk, and use vegan butter instead of regular butter.

What’s the best way to avoid lumps when making the milk base?

Ensure you add the milk gradually while continuously whisking, and keep the heat at medium to prevent the mixture from clumping.

Can I use granulated sugar instead of powdered sugar?

Yes, but powdered sugar is preferred as it dissolves more easily. If using granulated sugar, blend it into a finer texture or dissolve it completely in the butter.

Can I freeze the milk cream for later use?

Freezing is not recommended, as it may alter the creamy texture upon thawing. For best results, prepare it fresh or refrigerate for short-term storage.

How can I adjust the portion size of this recipe?

Simply halve or double the ingredients proportionally based on your needs. Ensure the cooking and cooling times remain the same for consistency.

What are some serving suggestions for milk cream?

Serve it as a cake filling, a topping for desserts like fruit or pancakes, or enjoy it as a standalone creamy treat with a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa.
