| 2 | It's generally accepted that, in NZ, "double cream" is the usual cream as sold in supermarkets and dairies. This is borne out by this BBC description of single and double creams: So cream with enough butterfat for whipping = double cream in overseas recipes..... = standard NZ cream autumnwinds - 2019-04-08 22:43:00 |

In a first for New Zealand, it contains no gelatin (yep! that’s what other double creams use) or other thickeners.

| 5 | Lewis Road double cream is 48% butterfat, single cream, i.e. plain cream, is about 38%. It makes a significant difference and whips to a much denser texture. I value quality over cheapness. davidt4 - 2019-04-09 08:50:00 |
| 6 | Ok. thanks for that. I bought the green value sticker brand from Countdown. It says ...fresh cream, 37% milk fat. It whips up just fine as I always usually buy this one. the recipe is from Yorkshire originally and also has powdered gelatin in it. It is called Pineapple Cream desert and I'm making it for my family who are coming for dinner tomorrow night...Hope it will be a success!! catz21 - 2019-04-09 10:30:00 |
