Ambrosia Devon Dream

As a LCHFer I love a bit of cream, particularly double cream... yum. So when I saw an advert for Ambrosia Devon Dream I though YES! This was partly because I had misread Devon Dream as Devon Cream... This got me thinking, why was it called Dream and not Cream. I know that cream substitute Elmlea just describes itself as double or single without the word cream. This worried me, was Ambrosia Double Dream just another whipped up vegetable fat? The short answer is yes, kind of :(  sad I know.
