How to Make Heavy Cream

Skimming the cream that rises to the top of raw milk is not good enough to make whipped cream. You will need one of these machines - a cream separator. And then you'll be able to make heavy cream using cow's milk and even goat's milk. How thick your cream will be depends on the milk fat content of your animal's milk. You can also adjust the machine to create a thicker cream. Jersey cows and Nigerian Dwarf goats will have a higher milk fat content which will give you more cream. The cost of one of these machines is about $200 to $250. And you can get a hand crank or an electric model. |

What is Lucuma Powder?
Lucuma is an Ancient fruit from the Lucuma Tree which is grown in places like Peru. This fruit has a flavor that resembles maple syrup, but it is considered a low glycemic sweetener.
Lucuma powder is rich in nutrients such as beta-carotene, trace minerals, and vitamin B3. The pulp of this exotic fruit was once called the "Gold of the Incas". This low glycemic sweetener is low-temperature dried then ground into a powder. Most health food stores now carry this sweetener or you can find this one online.
