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

Amazing product!!! I used it with their powdered cheese for Mac and cheese.... It tasted like it was made out of fresh cream and cheese!!!! Then I thought I'd give it the ultimate test ... Scalloped potatoes... Amazing!! I am so blown away with the taste, texture and ease if use!! A must buy!!

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 like to keep powdered non perishable creamer on hand for when I run out of my half and half. However, I don't like all of the artificial additives in most powdered creamers. This one has very few added ingredients and tastes just fine... maybe not quite as nice as half and half but better than a lot of the fake powdered creams that I have tried. The only drawback with this is it doesn't dissolve instantly but luckily I have a little whisk that works just fine to incorporate the cream into the coffee. However, while sipping my cup of coffee, there is a fair amount of Creamer floating around the top, but that is easily stirred to incorporate again

My husband and I bought this for a camping trip because we like cream, real cream in our coffee, I had tried powdered milk, but I may as well be adding water to my coffee, and so we looked in to buying some powdered cream and this was the best deal that we could find. I really like that the ingredients are just freeze dried cream, nothing more. I was a little bit weary of the taste, I thought it might taste weird, being it is dried, so I gave it a few different test to see how it fared. I first tried it with instant coffee, and it had a weird taste to it, and I was not impressed with the flavor of the cream, it tasted like cooked cream essentially, and I was very underwhelmed. Then, I tried it with real coffee, fresh brewed, and I had quite a different experience, it taste just like normal cream, maybe not really fresh cream, but it was perfect. I had it 3 days in a row like that, and it was perfect every time. I went back home and tried it with instant coffee again just to see what it would be like, and the answer is that it was definitely the instant coffee, it was the same as the first time I tried it. If you use this with an instant coffee, use it with a high quality one, mine was not, and it effected the flavor of the cream. As others have stated, it works best for mixing if you initially mix it in a small amount of liquid(preferably hot) before incorporating with your whole batch of anything. You don't need to make a paste, but about 4 parts water to 1 part cream should be good for mixing initially. I will definitely be ordering this again for use while traveling with my coffee, I am very impressed with it, and I plan on trying some of this companies other stuff as well, I am excited to do so, I hope they are as good as this cream.

Great stuff. Wife made a squash casserole with it and let me tell you... Delicious!!!

When I buy heavy cream, I expect to get heavy cream. For heavy cream powder, that means sweet cream solids. I did not realize that this product is mixed with nonfat dry milk powder. I put it in my coffee and my coffee did not turn creamy as it did with other brands of heavy cream powder. Instead, my coffee just became a mottled shade of brown. I tried adding more of this powder, but it did not improve either the looks or the taste of the coffee. I checked the ingredients and realized it is mixed with NONFAT DRY MILK POWDER!!! This made me so angry. If I wanted to buy nonfat dry milk powder I would have gone to the store, not ordered it for this price. There are other better brands on Amazon.

After reading the reviews, I thought I would try this product. I bought a frother, as all the reviews pointed to the importance for mixing. I made my first batch with my purified R/O water, and even warmed it up in the Microwave. It blended well and I used more powder than I thought I would, but I was looking for a rich taste and not watery. It did thicken up a bit, but the taste just was not what I expected. I added a little salt that helped just a bit, and then figured it would be better after a night in the refrigerator. In the morning I used it with my rich coffee and it did not look as creamy by a long shot as regular half and half like I am use to. I added some more, more than I would with half and half, and it just does not taste or look like what I am use to. I did have to shake it up first, and it had a little bit of granular texture even after sitting overnight in the refrigerator. I was actually disappointed, since I have had success with using powdered cheese in the past. If you are thinking this will save you money, I don't think you will. I tasted it as a powder, and it just doesn't taste that great. Nice container, nice powder consistency, nice price, but I am going to go back to the real thing. In conclusion, it probably tastes kinda like the powder cream that comes in packets in hotels. Perhaps it is great if you want zero or low fat in your coffee cream. You don't know unless you try it, so I did. I will not be buying this again.
