ReplyDeleteThicken cream or pure cream
DeleteIn US, this cream is called heavy or whipping cream with 36% butterfat content.
DeleteYou can use light cream, 1/2 and half, or regular milk (whole, low-fat, or skim), just the results won't be so unctious and maybe more fine-grain ice crystals when using milk. Milk has more water than cream.
