OK, I confess... I do love cream, and in my early training in France the mantra always was “if you want to enrich a dish, add some cream, and to make it even better, whisk in some butter and egg yolks”! I do use some cream if it adds a desirable richness to the final dish, but it can be too much of a good thing. A great alternative that allows you to cut down on cream in part or fully and still have most of the richness and mouth-feel that cream provides is this very low-fat No-Cream Cream.
