Cream
The creaminess of dairy products can enhance the flavors of other ingredients. Dairy products can be used as a base for sauces, as a topping for desserts, or as an ingredient in baking. Cream pairs well with fruits, such as berries and bananas. It can also be paired with chocolate, coffee, and spices, such as cinnamon and nutmeg.
