Abstract
Cream products formed by dispersing gum and lactose in water prior to the addition of butter and dry ingredients, subjecting the mixture of ingredients to heating, followed by rapid cooling and shear forces, provides a stable product. The cream products may replace traditional liquid cream-based products, and instead use dry cream up to about 7.5 weight percent mixed with butter up to about 30 weight percent, gum at about 0.75 weight percent, lactose, and water forming the balance of the product. The product may form a reduced heavy cream replacer with a fat content of up to about 35 weight percent. The product includes at least one of a flavor, appearance, and texture substantially similar to that of a traditional reduced heavy cream but withstands stresses and abuses that are not tolerated by the traditional reduced heavy cream.
