If a recipe calls for "CREAM" what can I substitute it with: half & half, condenced milk, or evaporated milk?

Question

I have the three listed and of course not exactly what I needed...

I am making lefse... for those of you who don't know it's basically a potato tortilla... so I have to roll them out thin. It calls for 3/4 cup cream.

Answer 1

i am in Nd where the norwegans live on liefse....i would use the half and half it just will be a little low calorie....if you use the evap milk mix it half and half with milk...none of these will hurt your end result .......merry xmas...

Answer 2

I recommend substituting the straight cream for half and half. Since half and half is a mixture of milk and cream, your recipe should cook a little lighter, but not enough to make a difference in taste. As for condensed or evaporated milk, you can use those, but I don't believe you will get the results you want in your recipe.

Answer 3

you can use evaporated milk but not sweetened condensed milk. There is a difference. My pumpkin pie recipe calls for evaporated milk. Evaporated and condensed are 2 different products, not interchangable.

Answer 4

I don't know about the other choices, but the condenced milk one will definitely not work. It is very sweet and mostly used for sweets and cakes, etc.

Answer 5

You can use H+H without any trouble. Enjoy the lefse!
