Cream, sometimes referred to as whipping cream,[9] was a fatty milk product found throughout the Realms and used in savory cooking as well as pastry making.[5]

Description[]

Cream was a viscous white dairy product kept in jugs and whipped for use in cooking,[9][14] giving bakeries and kitchens a pleasant aroma that often went hand-in-hand with the smell of blooming yeast.[5] Pails of cream were sold to butteries, where it was churned into butter.[10]

Usages[]

Waterdhavian meals sometimes included bowls of clotted cream and strawberries.[1]

In the city of Neverwinter, whipped cream was used to offset kaeth's bitter taste. It was also used as a thickener in a puréed potato soup called cawl cennin.[3]

People of Baldur's Gate used whipping cream as an ingredient in making fiddlehead soup.[2]

Cream from the Moonshae Isles was a staple of a hearty morningfeast: eggs, bacon, and fresh cream.[12] Similarly, a morningfeast in Suzail, the capital of Cormyr, included sliced fruit in cream.[4] Lavish morningfeasts in the city of Arrabar in Chondath included fresh cream, chilled and whipped to be smothered over bread.[8]

Some desserts made with cream included a bowl made out of chilled chocolate, filled with sweet cherries and cream—a delicacy from Shadowdale in the Dalelands.[6] Cormyrean desserts included whipped mousse made with Maztican chocolate and almond liqueur, topped with whipped cream.[15]

Outside of the Prime Material plane, cream was available in Finder Wyvernspur's realm of Fermata in Arborea.[13]
