Abstract
A cream for use as a topping on beverages, such that the cream floats on the surface of the beverage, whether hot or cold. The cream contains a hydrocolloid fluid gelling agent at a concentration sufficient to form a fluid gel which is subsequently sheared. This enables the cream to float on beverages, whilst maintaining its inherent stability and remaining immiscible with other liquids whether hot or cold. Usually the gelling agent has a concentration between 0.05 and 2% by weight.
