How to make Fresh Cream at Home?
Alternatively, you can also make your own fresh cream at home. It is time-consuming but definitely worth the effort. After boiling milk each morning, let it simmer for a few minutes. Let it cool and then place it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. After that, you will find a thick layer of malai on the top of your milk. Lift it carefully with a slotted spoon and store it in an airtight container in the freezer. Continue doing this for a few days till you have the required amount of malai. Then, leave the collected malai at room temperature for a while till it defrosts but is still cold, and then whip it using a hand blender till you get smooth, frothy cream. If you do not have a hand blender, you can also do this using the blender jar of your mixer grinder. Don’t whip for too long or you will end up with butter instead of cream! Just a whip or two will do.

Fats, in reality, will keep you full for long time and avoid bingeing and weight gain. And yes, the body for absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like vitamin A, D, E and K, needs some amounts of fat.

Moreover, this cream cuts down on bitterness of the coffee, so you won’t add any sugar to your coffee. Addition of sugar will anyways cause more harm to your body.

This will be followed by feeling hungry more easily.
