Does this add flavor to the the heavy cream, hoping it has a light flavor to butter. I don't like buttercream to sweet . Any suggestions ?

No, I didn't notice any flavor, it only stabilizes the cream so it doesn't turn "runny" after a few hours like whipped cream tends to do....good to use for when making whipped cream frosting for a cake. I used it for a black forest cherry cake that called for whipped cream frosting, worked great.

literal translation to the packet is. Sahnensteif: whip cream "stiffer". text reads: holds whip cream stiff.

hello Erika: Dr. Oetker does not add flavor. All it does is stiffen the whip cream. We use it at home in order to "hold" the whip cream in place. As you know, if you do not add a stabilizer to the whip cream, it will get watery and lose it shape with a short period of time. This product truly does as advertised.

My experience is the cream is much thicker than milk and is only interchangeable in certain recipes. Hope this helps.

It works with 2%, but it's not as smooth and creamy. I definitely recommend getting whole milk or heavy cream for these recipes.

I only have a humble Donvier, and am looking for something like this machine, but I have made Ice cream with Splenda (excellent) and Stevia (not so good, but I think it was bad stevia) and used substantially less of each than the sugar called for in the recipes. Consistency was fine, though I sometimes add a little gelatin if making a reduced fat batch. I would think you could make a no sugar added recipe that's fine as long as you use the Splenda. Not sure about other substitutes.

I Googled "thickened cream" and apparently it is cream thickened with Buttermilk. However, every definition I found said that heavy whipping cream could be substituted for the thickened cream. I've only ever used regular heavy whipping cream and have never had a problem with it.

Its sweet cream flavor. Tastes just like cake batter. It serves as a base n you canmake any flavor

I did. It helped with the sweet. I also bought the unsweetened and mixed with vanilla- my preference above either alone.

You do not! This has happened twice to me, husband used some of my heavy cream for a recipe. Also I always use a pint of heavy whipping cream or heavy cream, never a quart. Another delicious hint... Get a bottle of vanilla syrup from Starbucks, use 12 squirts to sweeten the cream instead of confectioners sugar. Unbelievably yummy whipped cream!Enjoy. One of the few "gadgets" we own that we use continuously.

Sorry, I have never tried it in cream pies. It is a smooth and creamy custard it might a good idea to try it in a pie. I usually use it in a British Trifle.

I used it for custard pie. It was a little bland so I'll try adding an egg yellow and a little vanilla next time.

I've never tried anything but heavy cream, but I don't know any reason why it wouldn't work. Good idea.

I think the secret to good ice cream with this machine might be to start out with a good, thick custard. I just made the vanilla bean "premium ice cream" (page 8 in the cusinart instructions/recipe book) and it came out great-I substituted 1/2 and 1/2 for the heavy cream and milk (cheaper that way) and used 1 tsp of vanilla instead of vanilla bean. Other than that-I followed the instructions exactly. After 30 minutes in the machine-it came out somewhere between soft and hardserve-so I am letting it firm up in the freezer. Tastes delicious (I ate about 1 cup before I put it away).

There should be a line engraved on it, but a 1 pint bottle of heavy cream, that is 16 ounces liquid. Along with some vanilla, and sugar to taste. Have fun.

Do you still add powdered milk to thicken it up? Thanks for your reply. I love mine. I use homemade vanilla and read about a tiny dash of salt (can't recall the purpose ) and about a cup of the bulk Splenda (not the little envelopes) done in 6 hours.

I used the "antique white" one and it tasted like a vanilla buttercream flavor. I had always heard that fondant was gross and so I expected it to be awful. It was really tasty, and everyone kept raving over the great flavor. Hope that helps!

No butter flavoring added. One of the few that don't, believe me. It's better to use real butter anyway for better flavor. Very good product.

Certainly not cookies and cream. It tastes artificially extra-sweet (read: gross). It's way to hard to nail the correct consistency to make the "cream" good, and the overall flavor is, to me, rather repulsive. My friend DID recommend it to me, though, so to each his own.
