Reduced cream


Reduced cream is a canned dairy product sold in New Zealand.
It was originally sold by Nestlé, but other companies in New Zealand have created their own reduced cream products.
It is offered as a low-fat alternative to thickened cream, with Nestlé claiming theirs has "38% less fat than thickened cream".
Refrigeration is not required, but is suggested before making the dip as it is best served cold.

Use

Reduced cream is used to make "The Original Kiwi Dip", which uses it instead of sour cream in the recipe for French onion dip, along with Maggi-brand instant onion soup. The recipe was invented by Rosemary Dempsey in the late 1950s or early 1960s at Nestlé's newly established test kitchen.
