Light cream, also known as coffee cream or table cream, is a dairy product with a fat content typically ranging from 18% to 30%. It has a smooth, pourable texture and a slightly sweet, delicate flavor, making it a versatile addition to many dishes. Its color is usually a pale ivory. Many home cooks and professional chefs alike use light cream to enrich sauces, add a creamy texture to soups, or lighten coffee and tea. When looking for a less heavy cream option to add richness, light cream is an excellent choice.

Light cream should always be refrigerated promptly after purchase and use. Store it in its original container, tightly sealed. Avoid storing it in the refrigerator door, as temperature fluctuations can shorten its shelf life. It typically lasts for 1-2 weeks after the "sell-by" date, but check for any signs of spoilage like sour smell or curdled texture before use. Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the texture and make it grainy upon thawing.
