I think the closest consistency as a comparison would be the way custard pours when hot? It's a surprise that a country that does some of the most decadent desserts there isn't a huge range of creams like there is in Australia...but then again, we have been dobbed in as the fattest nation, so perhaps that's a telling sign?Cobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07730025899595026688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074112549904235855.post-10224174088984197032008-10-21T19:04:00.000-05:002008-10-21T19:04:00.000-05:00Unfortunately all I have available here is Heavy(d...Unfortunately all I have available here is Heavy(double cream) Half & Half or whipping,no pouring cream to be found.But thanks for your suggestions.thecelticcookinshanghaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02074941689107686213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5074112549904235855.post-13422817265465283462008-10-21T17:49:00.000-05:002008-10-21T17:49:00.000-05:00I use light ('lite') cream often. Here (Australia...I use light ('lite') cream often. Here (Australia) it's still apparently the consistency of pouring cream, but this is often due to added gelatine. I would suggest you could use half and half, but I suspect that would be a little thinner. Not sure as we don't have half and half here, but if it helps, the light cream I have right now has 18% 'milk fat'. It can't be whipped, though I see now you can buy thick/whipped light cream too:)<BR/><BR/>I would happily use regular pouring cream if I couldn't find the lighter version:)Cobyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07730025899595026688noreply@blogger.com
