Rice cream is an ideal dish for those who follow a vegan diet or are lactose intolerant. Here are some tips for using it in the kitchen.
In the kitchen everything is possible and many foods can be replaced by substitutes of plant origin. Rice cream, for example, can replace fresh cream and bring a melting and velvety texture to your favorite dishes. Whether you are a fan of plant-based cooking or not, this easy-to-incorporate staple could well become a must-have in your kitchen!
What is the difference between rice cream, rice flour and liquid rice cream?
Rice cream is a pre-steamed flour that the Celnat and Markal brands offer in organic stores in the form of sachets. Gentle steaming allows you to preserve the nutrients of the rice and obtain a result that is more digestible and assimilable by the body. To use it as a liquid cream, simply dilute 4 tablespoons in 500 ml of water and then heat the mixture for 3-5 minutes. Precooked rice cream can also be used raw as a binder to thicken a sauce.
Rice flour, unlike rice cream, is not pre-cooked and can be used to replace some of the classic wheat flour in baking. It is produced from ground rice grains.
Liquid rice cream is a ready-to-use vegetable preparation, sold commercially in the form of briquettes stored in the liquid cream department. Discover our recipe to make it yourself!

To bring even more flavor to your cream, do not hesitate to add, at the time of preparation, vanilla bean seeds, grated tonka bean, orange blossom, or nutmeg in a salty version.

How to consume and use liquid rice cream?
Very useful in cooking, rice cream can replace fresh cream in equal measures in all recipes and bring fondant and creaminess to your dishes such as quiches, pasta, risottos, purees, pies, cakes, caramel, sauces, or toppings for wraps and other sandwiches!
What are its nutritional assets and benefits?
Less fatty and caloric than the classic cream, the ice cream is naturally sweet and fits very well into gluten and lactose-free dishes or desserts. It is also renowned for its antidiarrheal properties and easy digestion.
