Etymology[edit]

(Hot chocolate with whipped cream.)

From קֶצֶף (kétzef, foam).

קְצֶפֶת (k'tzéfetf (plural indefinite קְצָפוֹת, singular construct קְצֶפֶת־)

  1. whipped cream
  2. icing, frosting

Usage notes[edit]

  • Properly, with the niqqud קְצֶפֶת, this noun ought to be pronounced /keˈtsefet/; however, it is normally pronounced /kaˈtsefet/, perhaps by analogy with שַׁמֶּנֶת (shaménet, cream).
