Is this the same as simply saying 'crema'? 'Crema de leche' is in a recipe for arroz con camarones that I'm translating into English.

Thanks!

    • Yesit should be the sour creamorif it's for shrimpmaybe a not-so-sour cream.

    The important part of including the word milk is that in order to obtain the desired flavor and consistencyit should be cream made of milknot of vegetable fat. I would call it dairy milk cream.

    Greetings
     
    Okthat makes sense. Although 'dairy milk' in English sounds redundant. And American sour cream may not be what this recipe needs. Perhaps 'crema de leche' would refer to Mexican sour creamwhich isn't as sour.

    Besidesthis recipe is Mexican. hmmm...unless anyone else has other ideasI'm going to assume that it's talking about Mexican sour cream.
     
    ¿Aun no vas al supermercado a comprar las cosas?
    Busca Double Cream (Gippsland es buenísima) si la quieres para cocinar (champiñonesspaghettissalsasetc)
    Busca Single Cream (cualquier marca) si la quieres para agregar a los postres.
     
    Sour cream is "crema agria" in spanishthey're very different in consistency and taste. Crema de leche is just creamlike the kind you add to your coffee.
     
    Thank you Pilarcita! In that casethe correct term could be "half and half"which is what you add to coffee. For cookingthis may very well be "whipping cream".

    Better late than never I suppose :).
     
    I believe whipped cream and whipping cream are actually different. Whipped cream is what happens when you whip whipping cream.
     
    Podría alguien decirme cómo se dice en inglés "crema de leche" con el significado de postre? Lo encontré en un libro y aquí es toda la oración:

    De postre se sirvió crema de lechetorta real y pirámide de naranja amarga.

    Even laterbut if it's a mexican recipeit's definitely not half and half. It's "mexican cream" that is sour (but not very sour) cream. the only time you would use "half and half" is for desserts and it's called "media crema"
