Substitute for Heavy Whipping Cream

I know it's low carb, but it's full of saturated fat. I can't bring myself to use it in good conscience.

Any substitute suggestions?

Thanks,
Holly

Answer:

Hi, Holly!

It depends on how you are using your Heavy Whipping Cream! Sometimes, a baking recipe, such as scones, requires Heavy Whipping Cream. In that case, you can use Light Whipping Cream, Whole Milk, Low Fat Milk or Skim Milk. Remember, fat adds flavor and makes cakes and other baked goods moist, so the results will not be the same. If you are trying to make whipped cream, then my only suggestion would be to use Light Whipping Cream and control your portion sizes.

Thanks!
