Homemade fresh cream from organic raw milk
To make cream at home the natural way, you only need one ingredient, namely raw milk. It must not be pasteurized or homogenized. Ideally, it should be organic.
If you make fresh cream instead of buying it, you know exactly what it is made of. You then know where the milk used comes from and what quality it is.
Where can I get raw milk?
In Germany, you can get raw milk from your local dairy farmer. You can usually tap it fresh directly from a milk vending machine.
Simply look for an organic or Demeter certified dairy farmer in your area. You can also see for yourself how the animals live on the farm.
Versatile to use
Homemade cream can be used in the same way as supermarket cream. For example, you can use it to make butter and whipped cream or add it to your coffee.
It is also ideal for cake creams, desserts, baking, soups and sauces. Try out these recipes with it, for example:
- Pavlova cake,
- Maritozzi,
- Eggless strawberry tiramisu,
- Number cake with honey dough and cream cheese frosting,
- Raspberry meringue roulade with cream cheese filling,
- Fluffy chocolate pound cake with glaze,
- Peaches cream cake with yogurt,

How to make whipped cream
You can immediately make whipped cream at home from the cream you obtain from raw milk. To do this, whip the cream with a hand mixer or food processor to the desired consistency – creamy or stiff. Start with the mixer on a low speed and gradually increase the speed.
The homemade whipped cream tastes delicious with the strawberry muffins, the sharlotka, the German plum cake, the rhubarb crumble cake, the apple bundt cake with cinnamon, the strawberry chocolate muffins, the chocolate jelly or simply with fresh fruits. If you like it sweet, add powdered sugar before or during whipping.
