Chantilly cream, which is pretty much sweetened whipped cream.


I get that - but you said :

 

cream = ant inside chilly = chantilly.

 

How does cream = this.

Hiya WWOS, great to see you posting again. Hope you've been ok.

domino - put the word "ant" inside the word "chilly" - ch-ant-illy, which makes chantilly which is the whole word answer to "cream" in the clue.
