Table cream, also known as light cream, single cream, or coffee cream, is a type of cream that contains anywhere from 18 to 30 percent milkfat, making it more high fat than half-and-half but less so than the creams used for whipping. It is a versatile cream that can be used in various ways, such as:

• In coffee or other drinks: Table cream is the perfect addition to coffee or other drinks that could use a little sweet creaminess. It can also be poured over fruits and berries or poured over cakes, crisps, and crumbles.

• In sweet dishes: Table cream can be added to puddings and custards. If a recipe calls for whole milk or condensed milk, it can be substituted with light cream for an even richer experience. It can also be drizzled over a slice of cake or pie.

• In savory dishes: Table cream can be used to make different curries and sauces. For example, it can be poured into butter chicken for a truly decadent dish. It can also be used in a pasta dish, particularly when making the sauce for the pasta. However, its best to add it after the recipe has been cooked or to serve the dish with table cream as a side, as it breaks apart when heated.

Table cream is not a great option for cooking and baking, as it doesnt have a high enough fat content to be whipped, and it breaks apart when heated. It is also not a substitute for heavy cream, as it has a lower fat content.
