Heavy Cream
33 recipes 2 guides
In sauces, soups, and gratins, heavy cream adds fat, body, and a smooth texture; it thickens as it simmers and helps carry the flavor of spices, cheese, and aromatics. It can also soften sharp tomato or citrus notes. The common mistake is boiling it too hard or reducing it too far, which can make the sauce greasy and separated.
