Judee's Gluten Free Heavy Cream Powder - Gluten Free Shelf-Stable Creamer Powder - Dehydrated Heavy Cream for Baking & Whipped Topping - 11 Oz

since i can't buy liquid half & half for my coffee, decided to try this based on clean ingredients and reviews from othe buyers - definitely not disappointed with the product - just wished there is a cheaper alternative

Smooth and wonderful to make rolls with. Not salty.

Good texture good flavor

I ordered the four main brands of heavy cream powder I could find, mixed all and did a taste test straight, as well as mixed with my favorite powdered milk (Peak) to create a "half and half". In order from best to worst these were my preference: 1. Judee's Heavy Cream Powder - closest to the mild sweet taste of fresh cream 2. Anthony's Heavy Cream Powder - reminds me of raw grass fed cream and milk I've gotten from a co-op - has a grassy cow-y taste that I am not a fan of, even if it's actually more natural. Once mixed with powdered milk that farm taste is less pronounced and the two come together well enough to create a fair approximation of fresh full cream milk. If I hadn't tried Judee's I'd probably settle for this one, but since Judee's is much better, I dumped it. 3. WillPowder Heavy Cream Powder - my first taste hit me with a strong industrial refrigerant or walk-in freezer taste - if you've ever had desserts from a restaraunt stored too long in their display case so the cream picked up that distinctive refrigerated smell that your own fridge doesn't have, or if you've ever noticed that smell in a restaurant's walk in freezer - that is what this tastes like. I thought maybe after it was mixed and settled overnight or even two days it might disappate, but it did not. The texture is fine but the taste is not. I dumped it. 4. Hoosier Hill Farm Heavy Cream Powder - an odd unpleasant taste. Nothing like cream. Surprising, because I like other Hooier Hill Farm products. Dumped it.

I purchased this based on the first reviewer judging 4 powdered creamers. I’m trying to wean myself off dairy cold creamers by using powdered creamers. But that’s no better so I’ve been trying to wean myself off powdered creamers. Overall, it’ll do. I use 1 heaping tsp scoop with one powdered (remember I’m weaning). It doesn’t dissolve completely. Leaves a few clumps. I used a mini whisk that helped but still have a few floaters. It smells like cream and does have a milk taste. The taste isn’t off-putting but it’ll take some getting used to. Much of that is because my taste buds have been trained to want corn-syrup filled creamer and dairy liquid creamer. I think overall it’s a winner. The biggest reason is because how natural this is. Minimally processed and real. I can drink it guilt-free.

I see I've purchased this five times now. It has become a staple in my pantry for when I am too lazy to go to the store for JUST cream, if I don't need anything else. I used to use evaporated milk and thought of this powdered heavy cream as more for "emergency supplies," but one time I used it and then more and more when in similar situations. This powdered product definitely tastes more like cream than evaporated milk, which makes it my go-to now. I use it in my very hot coffee, so I have not had any problems with cold drinks. I wouldn't think it would work well there; should probably pre-melt a small amount and then mix with cold drinks if that is the goal. And I use a "frother" for mixing, so I don't have any clumping problems, either. All in all, a really good product to have on hand, even if too pricey for everyday use.
