What To Do With Raw Milk Cream?

One of the best parts of raw milk is the cream that rises to the top. Rich, golden, and nutrient-dense, raw milk cream isn’t just a treat—it’s an ingredient with endless possibilities. Whether you’re after sweet indulgences, everyday upgrades, or traditional cultured foods, here are some of the many ways you can put raw cream to good use.

🍦 Sweet Treats Worth Savoring

• Homemade Ice Cream
  Turn your cream into the ultimate summer dessert. With just a few ingredients, you can churn a batch of fresh ice cream that’s far better than anything in the store.
• Whipped Cream
  Whip raw cream with a touch of vanilla and honey for a topping that’s light, fluffy, and naturally sweet. Perfect on fruit, pies, hot chocolate or even your morning coffee.
• Butter
  Shake or churn raw cream until it separates into golden butter and tangy buttermilk. Both are delicious and wholesome additions to your kitchen.

☕ Everyday Uses

• Coffee Creamer
  Skip the additives in store-bought creamers—raw cream adds a natural richness to coffee or tea.  If you want to get really wild, try mixing a raw egg yolk in with the fresh cream for additional foaminess and nutrients…..(at your own risk of course ;)).
• Creamy Oatmeal or Porridge
  Stir in a spoonful of cream for a nourishing, velvety breakfast.
• Smoothies
  Blend cream with fruit to add a silky texture and a boost of healthy fats.

🍳 Cooking & Baking

• Homemade Sour Cream
  Culture cream with a little buttermilk or yogurt starter for a tangy, probiotic-rich topping.
• Alfredo or Cream Sauces
  Use raw cream as the base for pasta sauces, soups, or casseroles for a naturally rich flavor.
• Baking
  Swap in raw cream for store-bought heavy cream in cakes, pies, or custards for next-level desserts.

🧀 Cultured & Traditional Goodies

• Clotted Cream
  Slowly heat and cool cream to make the traditional British spread—perfect on scones.
• Cultured Butter
  Let your cream ferment before churning for a tangy, European-style butter packed with probiotics.

👉 A Quick Tip

If you’re not ready to use your raw milk cream right away, don’t worry—it freezes beautifully! Simply portion it into freezer-safe containers, and you’ll have fresh cream ready whenever inspiration strikes.  *Disclaimer, butter is better made with fresh cream.

✨ Whether you whip it, churn it, or culture it, raw milk cream is one of the most versatile gifts straight from the cow. Try experimenting in your own kitchen—you might just find a new family favorite.
