Can I substitute 1 part heavy whipping cream and 1 part 1% milk for half and half?

Question

Maybe I should dilute that cream a little more.

I am well aware that it is half milk and half cream but I have heavy cream.

Answer 1

It's a simple math problem:
Your goal is a butterfat content of 12%
You know that heavy cream is 36% BF
1% milk is self explanatory
Equal parts give you an average BF content of 18 %
Answer: 2parts 1% + 1 part heavy cream

Answer 2

Substitutions: Equal parts milk and cream
1 cup half and half = 1 cup less 2 tablespoons milk plus 1 1/2 tablespoons melted butter

Answer 3

Depending on what you are making I would see no reason why it wouldn't work. If it is a dessert, I would consider just using the whipping cream and making it especially rich!

Answer 4

Yes -- but since the mixture will not have been homogenized, the cream will separate and float to the top a few minutes after mixing.

Answer 5

Just use the whipping cream
- everything tastes better with a little more fat

Answer 6

Brown sugar is white sugar with molasses in it so it could have a distinctive style to it. the colour of your ice cream may well be a sprint distinctive additionally.. attempt it!i think of i'm going to i'm making selfmade strawberry the following day.
