never heard of this. how do you make it? just heavy cream instead of milk to curdle the yogurt while setting?

​

is it more similar to greek yogurt or labneh or does it have its own texture and taste?

Now... That... Is genius. Is it as creamy as ice cream?

I had 2 pints of Heavy Cream that were expiring yesterday.

I poured them in a big bowl, heated it in the nuker till it was 100 degrees, added 1/3 cup plain yogurt and put that in my yogurt/rice maker and turned on the yogurt function. As soon as it was done I covered it and refrigerated it.

Its also called Creme Bulgare.

Tomorrow Ill make it into cultured butter, then GHEE.

The texture changes depending on the heavy cream, THIS batch is more liquid then others.

Manufacturing cream makes the best.

This is cultured cream. If you whip it it will become cultured butter which has an amazing taste very different from sweet cream butter!

Looks like alpina white paint. But tastes good probably

If you make from full cream milk instead of cream you can hang it in cheesecloth over an extended period to let the whey water drip away.

I can only imagine the amount of bathroom trips for my lactose-intolerant ass.

Similar to butter, heavy cream is a very high-fat product. One tablespoon (15 grams) of heavy cream contains about 0.43 grams of lactose. 3 So it's safe for most people to use some heavy cream in their diet, like in a cup of coffee.

No... but seriously, this looks too good.

I would throw soooo many raspberries in there.

The cultures in yogurt and sour cream are usually different, although there is sometimes some overlap. Sour cream is generally made with Streptococcus bacteria and yogurt is generally made with Lactobacillus bacteria.

I thought the lactobacillus culture destroyed the lactose in the process of turning the milk into yogurt. Am I ill informed here? (Wouldn’t surprise me.)

The downvotes i got are epic. But literally, you can make perfectly delicious sour cream with a bit of yogurt starter. I do it all the time. It's not any different in practice than very good sour cream. Shrug.

The temperature and incubation time are going to have way more influence on whether it's on the creme fraiche or sour cream end of the spectrum.

There is a brand of yogurt called brown cow and they make the best yogurt. They have real fruit on the bottom in pectin jelly and then normal yogurt with a layer of cream yogurt on the top.. The top is by far the best!

Why not? It's not as if things are automatically spoiled beyond that date. It's a guideline. Things can spoil well before then if opened long before that date and can last well beyond it if opened close to it or even afterwards.

Dairy tend to be pretty easy to tell when its going off.

As a former dumpster-diver, I would encourage you to explore the use of your senses. The sell-by date is not completely disconnected from the chance of spoilage, but it isn't really tied to it either. It's as much about keeping a steady flow of products so that all of the upstream systems can work effectively. If it smells ok, it is ok. Dairy is a very good communicator; it'll tell you when it wants to go.

In any case, you made something wonderful and I'm happy for you. But just be aware that the date is not there principally for your safety, and a lot of food remains safe well after the date has passed. In most cases, your eyes and nose are the best judge.

They can often be ignored, but they're not actually bullshit, they're just not for you. They're for the people who stock the shelves. If a product is past it's sell-by date, it gets tossed whether it's bad or not (it's usually not), and it is more to do with keeping a steady flow of inventory and keeping upstream systems working smoothly.

The (quite significant) loss of good food is acceptable to the seller because it keeps the incoming product fresh and consistent, which maintains their brand, and keeps their suppliers happy and willing to work with them. I understand why companies do it but it wastes massive amounts of perfectly good food and it's a genuine tragedy.

If you fermented cream using cultures from yogurt, what you have is sour cream, not yogurt. Please call things by their correct names.

Then you are throwing out a whole lot of perfectly good food. Unless you are saying you always manage to use it up first. "Sell by/best by" dates are NOT expiration dates or even close.

Holy shit.

I feel like heavy cream yogurt might possibly be exactly what my life has been missing.

The etymology is related. Microwaves were considered an almost magical technology when they became popular. Since they and nuclear weapons both use “radiation” (though much different) and both made their targets substantially hotter, it became a funny way to say “use the microwave.”

keestie t1_iubukwi wrote

It doesn't mean it's going to be bad in any period of time. That's what I'm saying. It's not directly related to the time a product is going to go bad. Have you actually smelled products that have passed their date? Cuz I have, and they generally are fine for a week or two after, as long as they were kept closed and mostly refrigerated.
