What to substitute for "creme de leite"?

[Michael J. Docy]

Como Vai,

I am trying some Brazilian recipes that call for
"creme de leite". What can I use in place of this,
or what is the equivalent of this in the United States?

I realize that the translation is "creme of milk" but I can't
find anything like that in the supermarket.

Obrigado,
Mike Docy

The "creme de leite" I was putting in my coffee in Belo Horizonte had
25% b.f. So I would suggest that you simply use a fat cream. Here in
Canada we have 15% b.f. and 35% b.f. If it's the same in the US you
could use a mixture of both, half and half.

What do you mean by "b.f" ? i.e. 25% b.f.?

«b.f.» means «butter fat»

In English it is called "cream".

Michael,

The translation for "creme de leite" is heavy cream.
For sweet recipes, you should use whipping cream, well beaten.
For salted dishes, like strogonoff, I have used sour cream in the
past, and it works well.
But I have found Nestle's creme de leite in several upscale
supermarkets in the Pittsburgh area. Ask around, and maybe you'll get
lucky. Also, try latin american groceries.

Bom apetite!

I take a look at Michaelis Dictionary and it says
NATA=greasy part of milk;
CREAM = NATA, in portuguese
CREME DE LEITE seems to be an enfatic expresion for the "greasy part of milk".
Usually it is bought in cans no larger than .25 pounds.

I am sure it is easily available in USA.

see you

Raymond, muchas gracias !

[Carlos Castro]

Dear Raymond,

Creme de leite in the usa can be found in almost every supermarket. The most
famous is the CARNATION brand (from NESTLE) that is called as THICK CREAM.
Is the same of the CREME DE LEITE NESTLE of Brazil

Cream will not give you the consistency of creme de leite. For the results you want you need the real thing.

It is evaporated milk.

Sour cream

[Shadow]

It is not evaporated milk. That's "leite Ideal"
"Creme de Leite" is simply cream. Look at the recipe to see if
they mean canned, fresh, sour or "***Paula's favorite".
But the OP has probably figured that out in the last 6 months.

*** Paula is our resident gay. Please don't mention cream to him.
He/she gets all excited.

Mike, just ignore this weirdo "Shadow"
He has a lot of issues concerning his own homosexuality. I have learned through my own experience living in the US that "creme de leite" in any recipe can be translated as sour cream.
Good luck!

Wow, an 18 year-old thread. I had to be part of it.

Brazilian "creme de leite" is "Nestle Media crema" in the US.

Best,

Heavy whipping cream

[Shadow]

I'd dump it. It's probably gone sour after 18 years.

They have fresher stuff on Amazon:

Belo artigo Paula.
Nao entendi porque apoiou o GOLPE que prendeu o Estadista
Lula.
"Ame o GOLPE ou deixe o braZil".
Amou e traiu, Paula ? Nao pensei que era seu estilo. Voce
geralmente mostra muita coragem, de quatro.

Para os admiradores do "Mico" (os que apoiaram o GOLPE que o
colocou na presidencia), aqui a traducao:

Amanha, pode ser voce a vitima de uma denuncia anonima falsa.
A vitima nao, o "escolhido" pelas milicias. O "privilegiado".

Não houve golpe, tanto o impeachment de Dilmalandra como a prisão de Lularápio
foram legítimas. O Bozo por mais que não gostemos dele a eleição dele foi legítima. Até podemos contestar que houve interferência por Fake News e roubo de dados de perfis no Facebook, sem dúvida que houve. Mas como sabemos até mesmo pela eleição do Trump, é muito difícil ou mesmo impossível anular uma eleição por interferência do mundo virtual. Acho que num futuro não muito distante com novas ferramentas de AI (inteligência artificial) e ML (machine learning) vai ficar bem possível anular eleições onde houve interferência virtual.
Então o que vocês tem fazer para resistir ao Bozo, tem que ser uma resistência inteligente, ir trabalhando os pontos fracos dele e divulgar o máximo as más intenções e diferentes falcatruas que venham a acontecer.
Isso de ficar choramingando de que Lularápio foi golpeado, que agora ele tem que voltar, não sei o que mais, isso tudo é estratégia de perdedor que não sabe aceitar a derrota. Lularápio foi derrotado pela sua própia arrogância, pela sua ignorância, pela sua ganância e senso de "entitlement"
JUST PUT THIS IN YOUR MIND ONCE AND FOR ALL:
NOBODY, REALLY NOBODY IS ENTITLED TO POWER.
MANY PEOPLE FEEL THIS WAY, BUT IT´S AN ILLUSION.
LULARÁPIO IS PAST, BRAZIL NEEDS TO LOOK FORWARD TOWARDS THE FUTURE!

Gotta love Glugle groupies. The question was asked in 1998.
Paula Gayeta and cadelinha de lata say they use KY.
I suppose it depends on what you need it for.
