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

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.

This cream powder is great, I add 2 teaspoons to my bread recipe for a softer bread. For those who are complaining that it doesn't mix well in their coffee and it doesn't make their coffee taste creamy, this is for baking, it's not a coffee creamer.

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.

I honestly don't know what I was expecting. I am on keto and have had a hard time going from powdered creamer to heavy whip as creamer with splenda. I like powder creamer because it doesnt liquify my coffee, so I wanted to try powder heavy cream and thats a hard freaking no. It is super clumpy. and I dont have time to worry about that. I honestly don't know if it tastes weird cause i didnt get past the clumps. and I actually have a frother too. so idk. i struggle apparently. but if you on keto, just stick with the heavy cream and the splenda, it gets better tastingafter a few weeks. your tastebuds get used to being unhappy. lol

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.

First, I got this for the shelf stability and it will fulfill that since I wanted something that I didn't have to refrigerate to add to coffee at work. However, I noted that in the description from Amazon when ordering "Add a scoop of our delicious heavy cream powder for a rich, sweet cream flavor in sauces, soups, and coffee. Our shelf-stable, hormone-free Heavy Cream Powder has a 72% butterfat content, ..." AND SO if regular liquid heavy cream is 36% milkfat on average, then I thought LOGICALLY it would take half as much to make a cup of cream BUT that was not the case. If you mix it as directed, using 6 tbsp to make 1 cup of cream, it comes out to making a little more than a QUART of liquid cream from a pound of powder. This means it is costing $20 a quart, compared to $6 to $8 a quart for liquid cream and usage is the same for powdered AND liquid so I will run out of it in the same usage timeframe. Also, I never could get it (using 6 tablespoons of powder and 1 cup of hot water (had to use hot water to get it to mix well enough), refrigerated overnight, to become the consistency of heavy cream. It would create a, almost butter consistency top separate layer with water below it and when shook up was no different than what I could produce using powdered milk and was thin liquid, not creamy. For shelf stability, I am sure this will be fine, and might be better for cream type sauces or cooking but for coffee use, I think I can find lesser expensive alternatives that give same results.

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.

I like the taste but it’s a little difficult to dissolve. So it always leaves grit in the bottom of my coco cup
