Fløde is the Danish word for cream, a rich dairy product made from milk. It contains a high percentage of fat, typically around 36% or more, which gives it a smooth and velvety texture. Fløde is commonly used in cooking and baking, adding richness to sauces, soups, and desserts. In Denmark, fløde is often used to make whipped cream, known as piskefløde, which is a popular topping for cakes and pastries. It can also be found in various dairy products, such as flødeskum (whipped cream) and flødesauce (cream sauce), enhancing the flavor and creaminess of many dishes.
