Our review compares cream on customer satisfaction, so you can find out what other Aussies think about the compared brands before you go ahead with a purchase. Think of it as like asking hundreds of your closest mates which cream they think is best!
Canstar Blue surveyed 1,171 Australians for their feedback on the cream(s) they’ve purchased and eaten in the last three months.
The winning brand is the one that receives the highest Overall satisfaction rating once all the scores from the Overall satisfaction criteria are combined and averaged.
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included, so not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The brands rated in this survey are listed below in order of best overall satisfaction.

Owned by Bega, Pura offers two cream options for shoppers – Thickened Cream, or Double Thick Cream Dollop. Pura’s Thickened Cream is available in a 300ml or 600ml container, is gelatine free and can be used in cooking or on top of desserts, whereas the Double Thick Cream Dollop is available as a 300ml option, and ideal for desserts. Pura creams are available to purchase at major supermarket chains, including Coles and Woolworths.
Cooking cream doesn’t contain as much milk fat as whipping cream, so it will usually stay in its liquid state longer and won’t become as thick as other types of cream when whipped – even if chilled. It also has a thinner consistency that makes it easy to stir into soups and stews, and is less likely to curdle or split when heated or reaching boiling point.
In Australia, cooking cream is a type of heavy cream that contains a fat percentage of at least 35%. This makes it ideal for heating, freezing, and decorating. Whipping cream, on the other hand, is commonly known as thickened cream or heavy cream and has a similarly high fat content percentage. In fact, cooking cream can be used to replace whipping cream (and vice versa).
