Blue Band Professional Cream has officially launched in Malaysia! The versatile product is a plant-based, multi-purpose cream designed for food service professionals. The launch event, held at Artisan’s Playground by Cookhouse, welcomed restaurateurs, hoteliers, baristas, patissiers, and culinary educators for a hands-on look at the cream’s versatility across different culinary applications.
Introducing Blue Band Professional Cream
BlueBand Cream is made from lentil proteins, offering an innovative alternative to traditional dairy cream. With a smooth, light texture and deliciously creamy taste, it lends itself perfectly to a variety of recipes.
This multipurpose cream is designed to perform consistently in both hot and cold applications, making it an ideal choice for kitchens of all kinds. Whether whipped, cooked, or poured, BlueBand Cream delivers superior yield, stability, and versatility, enhancing culinary creations while optimizing costs for food service operators.
What Makes Blue Band Professional Cream Unique?
Its stability under heat and resistance to curdling make it a practical solution for professional kitchens handling diverse menus. It also boasts an impressive yield and durability, producing 2 to 2.5 times more whipped cream than dairy cream. Unlike dairy creams, it’s near impossible to overwhip BlueBand Professional Cream and it maintains its form for up to four hours after whipping.
In cooking, it remains heat stable, does not burn easily, and resists splitting or curdling —making it ideal for complex dishes and catering environments where consistent quality is key. Additionally, when mixed with water, it can be used as a plant-based milk substitute, perfect for beverages like lattes and milkshakes. Its ability to maintain structure under heat lamps and food warmers makes it even more suitable for large-scale catering and buffets.
The cream is also really easy to integrate into existing recipes with a 1-to-1 substitution ratio for dairy cream, providing chefs and culinary professionals with a fuss-free transition to plant-based alternatives without compromising taste or texture. Furthermore, it is free from major food allergens identified by Malaysia’s Ministry of Health – including milk and eggs – allowing kitchens to create dishes for everyone, regardless of food sensitivities.
A Hands-On Culinary Experience
The exclusive launch event featured live demonstrations across four specialty stations, each highlighting how Blue Band Professional Cream performs in real kitchen environments. Overseen by Flora Food Group’s Technical Chef Ben Chua, each dish from dairy-free buttermilk chicken to chocolate mouse highlighted the incredible versatility of Blue Band Cream.
The “Flora Restaurant” station showcased the cream’s heat stability in savoury dishes like pastas, soups, and sauces, where it neither separated nor left a greasy aftertaste.
Over at the “Flora Bakery” station, guests witnessed its superior whipping capabilities in desserts like chocolate mousse and onde-onde cupcakes. It reached stiff peaks quickly—within approximately two minutes—and held its structure effortlessly, remaining stable for hours without deflating.
Chefs at the “Innovation Kitchen” explored creative uses with the product, including a vegan yoghurt and a shrimp, dill, and citrus cream canapé, demonstrating the cream’s versatility and ability to hold unique textures and flavours without curdling or breaking.
At the final stop, the baristas at the cafe station showcased the cream as a milk substitute in light roast acidic lattes and tropical milkshakes, where its stability resulted in a long-lasting foam and latte art without any curdling from acidic ingredients.
The event also featured a testimonial from Nor Arieni Adriena, founder of Gula Cakery, who shared her experience using Blue Band Cream in her culinary creations.
The celebration concluded with a lucky draw, where attendees had the chance to win Ramadan buffet vouchers. The grand prize—a brand new iPad—went to a culinary student from Kolej KAGC.
