Light Cream
Light Cream is a light dairy cream (often 15–20% milk fat) commonly used in sauces, soups, coffee and desserts as a pourable, cooking or single cream. It provides a creamy mouthfeel with less richness than double cream, making it popular in both home and professional kitchens. Nutritionally, Light Cream is primarily a source of fat and contains about 19.1g of fat per 100g, including a notable proportion of saturated fat; it also supplies small amounts of protein and B‑vitamins such as vitamin B12 and riboflavin. Because it is lower in fat than heavy cream it’s a reasonable choice when you want creaminess with fewer calories, but it should still be used in moderation due to its saturated fat content—easily replaced in many recipes by lower‑fat milks, yogurt or plant‑based alternatives when a lighter option is desired.
