Taste & Role
🍯 Sweet
Whipped to top cakes and pastries, folded into mousses and ice cream bases, or poured into custards, cream soups, and Hong Kong-style drinks to add richness and body.
What it is
Heavy cream, known in Chinese as dan nai you, is the high-fat layer skimmed from fresh milk, typically containing 36-40% milk fat. It is much richer than regular milk or half-and-half and whips into stiff peaks easily. In Chinese kitchens it is a staple of Western-style baking, appearing in everything from birthday cakes to milk tea.
