A beverage whitening composition for replacing cream or milk in a reduced
volume comprising: cream having a higher butter fat content than the
cream or milk to be replaced; milk having a lower butter fat content than
the cream or milk to be replaced; and serum solids, such as skim milk
powder. The composition has the beverage whitening ability of the cream
or milk to be replaced in a target volume of from 30% to 95% of the
volume of cream or milk to be replaced. The composition is formulated so
that from 300 mL to 950 mL of the composition has the whitening ability
of 1 litre of the cream or milk to be replaced. The composition is useful
for replacing conventional coffee cream in dispensers containing bags of
cream so as to reduce frequency of bag replacement.
