It’s February, and hearts are fluttering here in Detroit, because this month we’re not only honoring Valentine’s Day, we’re toasting a full century of C.F. Burger Creamery bringing families and friends together with beloved dairy products.
From your first sip of our Coffee Cream in the morning to the last spoonful of eggnog at holiday gatherings, four generations have poured love, passion, and unwavering quality into every carton. And this Valentine’s season, we want to share a few words straight from the hearts of our customers, plus a luscious treat that proves the creamiest desserts are made with a dash of C.F. Burger magic.
A Century of Devotion & Devoted Fans
When you’ve been crafting creamy goodness since 1926, you learn that the secret ingredient is always people, our talented team, our partner farms, and you, our loyal customers. Here’s what a few of you had to say as we celebrate 100 years:
“Hey y’all, happy Centennial!! Congratulations on 100 years of excellence, and here’s to many more! Just wanted to say that I find your Custard Style Eggnog at my local Meijer store every holiday season.” — Craig Montgomery
“Happy 100 years. So proud my grandpa was a part of it. He loved the creamery and it was his life.” — John Gruber
“The absolute best egg nog and dairy products!!” — Joe Telmos
Joe, you just put it simply: “the absolute best.” That’s the standard we set for ourselves—day in, day out, batch after batch.
Valentine’s Day Made Easy
Nothing says “I care” like a homemade chocolate mousse you can whisk together in minutes, and yes, it’s made richer with C.F. Burger Heavy Whipping Cream! Whether you’re celebrating with a partner, family member, friend, or just treating yourself, this silky-smooth dessert is an elegant end to any Valentine’s meal.
You can find the full recipe here on our website, but here’s a quick look at what makes it so special:
- Rich, Creamy Base: A blend of melted dark chocolate and C.F. Burger Heavy Whipping Cream whips up into a cloudlike texture that’s both light and indulgent.
- Simple Ingredients: With just cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla, and our pure whipping cream, you get a dessert that feels gourmet without hours in the kitchen.
- Fast & Flexible: Ready in under 20 minutes, then chill until set, leaving you time to focus on flowers, cards, and quality time.
Serve your mousse in pretty glasses or ramekins, garnish with fresh berries or a dusting of cocoa, and watch how a small spoonful brings big smiles.
Love That Lasts: A Creamery Legacy
Valentine’s Day is a celebration of love’s many forms, and our centennial reminds us that lasting relationships, like the one between C.F. Burger Creamery and our community, require constant care, consistency, and a commitment to excellence. Over the past 100 years, we’ve expanded from bottled milk to an array of dairy essentials:
- Half & Half & Fat-Free Half & Half for your morning cup
- Coffee Cream (18% Table Cream) for barista-level lattes at home
- Eggnog that crowns holiday traditions
- Heavy Whipping Cream that transforms soups, sauces, and desserts
Each product carries the same family-driven promise: if it doesn’t taste like it was made with love, it doesn’t leave our creamery.
This Valentine’s season, we raise our glasses (of milk!) to you: our customers, partners, and fellow dairy enthusiasts. Thank you for making C.F. Burger Creamery part of your celebrations, your kitchens, and your memories. From our family’s heart to yours, we hope your month is filled with sweet moments, creamy delights, and recipes that bring everyone together.
Happy Valentine’s Day, and here’s to love, laughter, and a century of creamy goodness!
