Half & Half and Butter Substitute for Heavy Cream image

Half and half has a good fat content ranging between 10.5% to 18% fat. It is commonly found in most fridges and is a great substitute for heavy cream, like whole milk is, with a little butter added to it. When it's done your cream substitute can be used in sauces, dressings, baked goods, and makes a wonderful ganache.

Number Of Ingredients 2

3/4 c + 2 Tbsp half and half
2 Tbsp unsalted butter

Steps:

  • 1. Cut butter into pats and place in a microwavable bowl.
  • 2. Melt butter in the microwave in 15-second intervals.
  • 3. Stir butter in between intervals until it's just melted.
  • 4. Put half and half in a microwavable bowl.
  • 5. Microwave the half and half for 15-second intervals to warm it (2-3 times max). It needs to be a little warm, about room temperature. If the half and half is too warm, stir and let it sit for a couple of minutes.
  • 6. Pour the melted butter and the half and half into the blender, in that order.
  • 7. It is ready to be used. Do not refrigerate or it will separate.
