    Hi Ladies,

    Do we get the milk cream in US? I have been trying to find in the general stores like walmart and indian stores, but in vain.
    Do they have a different name over here?

    Thanks.

    Hi Jlak,
    There is Heavy cream available in the freezer sections, along with the milk, in walmart. I guess that's what you are asking about.

    Heavy cream is in the dairy section not the freezer section. There are two levels of cream generally available: half and half is half cream mixed with half milk (light cream generally used for coffee, etc). Heavy cream is pure cream generally used for making whipped cream.

    Are you looking for a brand of face cream?
    If you are looking for just dairy cream you will find it in cartons in refrigerated dairy section, next to milk.

    You may not get heavy cream in indian stores.

    But heavy cream, whipped cream & half-&-half, milk etc are available at almost all american grocery stores. Please check at the dairy section in any store.

    By the way, are you looking for creamer for coffee ? You may find it as "creamer", again in dairy section

    Ladies, my bad! I should have mentioned for what I was looking!

    I have dark patches around my mouth, and was told to apply milk cream on the face to reduce the darkness yumsmiley

    Any suggestions, as should i apply the heavy cream or the half and half??

    Heavy cream is full cream, so that may be what you want. However it is not like the 'malai' we skim from the top of boiled milk in India. It will be like thick milk, but is still very liquid.

    Hello,

    Its worth taking milk cream from home. Boil whole milk or 2% milk and leave it open as such without disturbance for 15 mins. Fresh malai can be collected using a thin spoon. Thats what i use.
