Squirty cream is the delightfully British informal term for whipped cream that comes out of an aerosol can — the pressurized, hissy kind you shake and spray directly onto desserts, hot chocolates, and, let's be honest, directly into your mouth. It's one of those terms that perfectly captures the fun, slightly chaotic nature of the product. In the UK, squirty cream is a party essential, a pancake-day staple, and a kids' dessert non-negotiable. Americans call it 'whipped cream in a can' or 'Reddi-wip,' but squirty cream just sounds more honest.
She piled so much squirty cream on her hot chocolate that you could barely see the mug.
