About Chantilly cream

Chantilly cream, also known as crème Chantilly, is a lightly sweetened whipped cream often flavored with vanilla or other extracts. It originated in France and is a staple in French cuisine, commonly used as a topping for desserts like pies, cakes, and fruit. Made from heavy whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla, it is rich in fat and calories but contains small amounts of essential nutrients such as calcium and vitamin A. Chantilly cream primarily consists of dairy fats, contributing to its lush texture and flavor. While it is indulgent, it is best consumed in moderation due to its high caloric density.

Health Benefits

• Supports bone health due to its calcium content (approximately 38 mg per tablespoon of whipped cream).
• Provides vitamin A (about 3% of the Daily Value per tablespoon), important for vision and immune function.
• Contains small amounts of saturated fats that can serve as a quick source of energy when consumed in moderation.
