When made it has the thick consistency of sour cream but would be very easy to thin if you needed it to be pourable. It retains the cottage flavor but I don't think that it's a problem. I used some straight from the food processor as a taste test on mixed berries. It was very good. If you added some Splenda and vanilla this would be a marvelous dessert topping. I can't wait to try it in a recipe :D

I tried this recipe solely because I was out of cream, not because of the low calories. But after tasting how great it is, I think I will definitely be making and using this substitute more often in order to help reduce calories. It worked perfectly in my favorite ranch dressing. Thanks!
