Explanation
Cream is the thick, rich part of milk that rises to the top when fresh milk is left standing. It is often used in cooking, baking, and making desserts like cakes or ice cream. Cream can also mean a lotion or ointment applied to skin for healing or beauty purposes. Additionally, in everyday speech, âcreamâ can mean the very best part of something (e.g., âthe cream of the cropâ). As a verb, it means to beat or mix food (especially butter and sugar) until it becomes smooth and light.
