In home or a farm you can easily make you're own cream.

 

For first recipe. You can make cream from whole milk without any additional equipment. All you need is whole milk and container.

Steps:

1. Fill whole milk in container or bowl. Preferable high.

2. Let it sit for 8-24 hours. You can leave it in room temperature or in fridge. In fridge it will take more time for cream to rise to the surface.

3. Take a spoon and carefully skim cream from the top. If bowl is transparent, then you easily will see the line where cream starts.

4. You have separated cream from milk. There will be high fat percentage left in milk.

Tips:

While cream sits don't stir it as it will mix with milk and won't sit on top

Cream could not be very usefull for making whipped cream(as for whipped cream fat content in cream must be atleast 30%)

 

 

Cream separation with Milk Cream Separator

With Cream Separator you can start separating at once after milking or later, as prefer.

 

What equipment is needed: separator, pot(to warm milk), smaller container for cream, larger container for skimmed milk, thermometer (optional)

Steps:

1. Put Separator together as shown in instruction.

2. Warm milk in pot up to 35° - 45° C

3. Turn on separator and wait 1 minute while motor reach full rotation speed.

4. Put smaller container under upper tap and larger one under the lower tap(where skimmed milk will flow out)

5. Pour warm milk into separator's bowl, up to 12 liters in one time.

6. As a result you will get cream and skimmed, low fat milk.

 

Tips:

In fridge cream will get thicker

If cream get's to thick you can thin down it with milk

 

 

Recipe: How to make whipped Cream

 

Did you know that whipped cream can cost almost as much as 3,5 Euro at the store!? Did you also know that it takes maybe five minutes to make it? Imagine having fresh home made whipped cream to put on top of your cakes and candies! Here are a recipe to maka a frothy, dessert-like sweet topping for anything from puddings to jello without the extra fat and sugars, or preservatives!

 

Ingredients

1. 250 ml heavy cream

2. 1/3 cups sugar (Optional)

3. 1 pinch salt

4. The cream will expand into more so be careful how much cream you put in. It can multiply more than 2 times

Steps

1. Pour the 250 ml heavy cream into a large metal bowl

2. Add in about a 1/3 cup of sugar and a tiny pinch of salt. Adding more sugar will help thicken the mixture, but don't add too much. 3/4 a cup to a cup is too much.

3. Using a wire whisk or beater, whip the mixture together until you get soft peaks

4. Let sit in fridge to cool, then enjoy !

 

Tips:

Cream should be cold(fridge temperature). If cream won't be cold enough it will multiply poorly, if it will be to cold then you can get butter instead.

Start on slow wire whisk speed, when wire whisk leaves tracks in cream turn higher speed, then highest.

If you wan't to get thick whipped cream you can add egg white

You should end whipping the same as started first slow down to middle speed, then to slowest.
