Hoosier Hill Farm Heavy Cream Powder, 2LB (Pack of 1)

I wanted to have a dried form of cream in case I needed it. I don’t generally like to buy heavy cream because it goes bad quickly because I don’t use it often, but this works for my needs. You can make whipped cream with it, you can put it in smoothies and it’ll thicken it up like a milkshake, you can put it in coffee and it taste just like creamer. It’s perfect. However, I was reading that it’s not meant for every day use because of the chemical process that it takes to make it. But in moderation it works. And that’s really what I needed it for.

I recently purchased Hoosier Hill Farm Heavy Cream Powder (2LB) and I’m beyond impressed with its quality and versatility! I’ve used it to make homemade ice cream, and the results were absolutely phenomenal—rich, creamy, and perfectly smooth texture every time. It dissolves easily and adds that luxurious creaminess without any fuss. Beyond ice cream, I’ve incorporated this powder into various dishes, from creamy pasta sauces to decadent soups and even baked goods. It’s a game-changer for recipes that call for heavy cream, especially since it’s shelf-stable and so convenient to have on hand. The flavor is spot-on, with no weird aftertaste, and it blends seamlessly into everything I’ve tried. The 2-pound pack is a great value, and the resealable bag keeps it fresh for multiple uses. I love that I don’t need to worry about running out of fresh cream anymore. Hoosier Hill Farm has nailed it with this product—highly recommend for anyone who loves cooking or making desserts at home! I’ll definitely be repurchasing.

I purchased this product first and foremost for my coffee as a shelf stable alternative to refrigerated heavy cream and also for cooking and baking. As a former school trained chef I am particular in my tastes but in all honesty I was not expecting this to taste like fresh heavy cream. After reading the review about lumps, I took the advice of others and mixed about a teaspoon of hot coffee in the cup before adding the rest. It took a while to dissolve all the lumps with stirring...a slight annoyance but not enough to discontinue using the product. Even with all the stirring, a few small lumps were floating on the top when I added the rest of the coffee. A teaspoon of the powder gave me the right color for my coffee. The mouth feel was spot on for heavy cream and I spent the rest of the time finishing my cup trying to decide if I could tell the difference from the two. As others had commented, I did notice a grittiness at the very end of the cup, the last tablespoon or so. I decided to make my next cup with fresh heavy cream to see the difference. I added about a tablespoon of fresh heavy cream to my cup. Same color, same appearance. Mouth feel was the same but there was a definite difference in the taste, not sweeter but the dairy flavor I picked up with the fresh cream was most likely due to the milk sugars. That being said all in all I think this is a good product for those looking for a shelf stable alternative to heavy cream for their coffee. The flavor was close enough that I needed to make a cup with fresh cream to taste the difference. One star removed for the grittiness at the end and the lumps that take a lot of stirring to remove. I will purchase this product again.

This is a great product! It works just like cream when rehydrated and does not have an aftertaste.

I love this stuff! The flavor is good, maybe a little sweeter than fresh cream. I put it in coffee, and also use it for cooking. (I never have milk in the house. If a recipe calls for milk, I use half cream and half water.) I bought it for camping and for emergency prep; but I use it at home sometimes, just to finish off the jar before it expires. It keeps for a year or more even after the container is opened. When it turns yellow, I figure it's time to throw it away and get more. Mixing it is kind of funny: the powder is so light, it floats on top of the water for quite a while. If you want to make one pint of cream, use a 2-pint container with a tight-fitting lid. Then you can get the cream and the water in there, close the lid, and shake it. It will take an hour or so to fully rehydrate. Giving it another shake every 10-15 minutes will help. I've also ordered cheddar cheese powder, and several kinds of dried vegetables, from this company. I've been happy with all of them. Amazon had some trouble with my last order, but the nice folks at Hoosier Hill got it straightened out. Bon appetit!

I bought this for my coffee. Not a good thing to use for the creamer. Humidity when delivered had it clumped up. Does not dissolve in coffee as stated or expected. Wanted a thicker and use less but this is a mess and clumps in cofee.

It works well to make keto biscuits and rolls. I make keto bread out of it. I am a repeat buyer. It is more expensive than I'd really like to pay, but when you are on a keto diet, carbs count and this is an easy way to make low carb bread. It is fresh and tastes great. Storing it is easy in this container. I'd buy it again.

Not good. Awful, actually. Has a very artificial, chemically taste. I used it only for coffee, mixing it with warm water and a frother (note: it will not dissolve or mix in cold water). Added vanilla extract to try to rid the off taste and that didn't help. Tried mixing in advance and letting it sit overnight in the refrigerator, thinking the flavor would settle with time, but no. I've used another brand and it was much better -- not great, but far better than this. Ultimately, it was just too unpalatable to use. Note: I didn't use it for cooking or baking so I can't comment on how it might blend with other flavors.
