What if I don't have heavy cream

[Vinalynne]

Is there a subsitution I could use if a recipe calls for heavy cream and I don't have it?

Hi Vinalynne!

It would depend on the recipe.

How's this sound? Cream (heavy) 1 cup - 1 cup evaporated milk OR 3/4 cup milk plus 1/3 cup butter

Half and Half, Light Cream and Heavy Cream Substitute

Half-and-Half
Makes 1 cup 7/8 cup milk
7/8 Tbsp butter or margarine OR
1 cup evaporated milk ? undiluted

Light Cream (18%-20% fat)
(for use in cooking and baking)
Makes 1 cup

3/4 cup milk
3 Tbsp butter or margarine
OR
1 cup evaporated milk ? undiluted

Heavy Cream (36%-40% fat)
(for use in cooking and baking)
Makes 1 cup

3/4 cup milk
1/3 cup butter or margarine


Will this go with your recipe??
