What it is Filled

The fat-rich layer skimmed from milk before homogenisation, sold in grades by butterfat content such as single, double, whipping and clotted cream in Britain and light and heavy cream in North America, used in cooking and desserts and whipped into whipped cream by incorporating air; the registry aliases also list whimsical named whipped toppings such as Maui Meringue, Rocket Whip, Scream Cream, Rainbow Whip and Rose Hip Whip, which appear to be product or fictional variety names rather than kinds of cream.
