How to make homemade heavy cream

1

To start preparing the homemade heavy cream recipe, you will have to put a pot on the fire and incorporate the two ingredients: milk and butter. It is important that the milk is whole so that it has a higher percentage of fat, something essential to achieve a perfect texture and flavor milk cream.

Stir the ingredients over the heat constantly, using either a whisk or a spatula until the butter is melted. The fire must be at medium temperature, since the milk should not come to a boil; The goal in learning how to make heavy cream is to let the butter melt and integrate with the milk.

The temperature of the butter has no influence on this recipe, so it doesn’t matter if it has been in the fridge previously or not.

Once the butter has melted, you should leave steep the mixture for 15 minutes (minimum) once removed from heat. After this time, you will notice that the mixture is slightly creamy; that’s the texture it should have. The thick texture of this heavy cream recipe is due precisely to the amount of fat in the butter.

This texture is also what gives the differentiating touch to the homemade milk cream.
