cream

Pale off-white shade

Cream is the thick, white fat of milk that naturally floats on top of it.

Substances that have roughly this consistency are called cream (shaving cream, hydrocortisone cream).

In cooking, to cream ingredients is to mix them until they are smooth and completely integrated; but dishes designated with the adjective creamed usually contain cream or some other dairy product (creamed spinach, cream of broccoli soup).

The cream of something is the best part of it: This year’s graduates are the cream of the crop of our nation’s youth.
