Question:
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!

RE: Substitute for Heavy Whipping Cream
My 10 year old son and I came up with something that worked VERY well. We used 2/3 cup of butter, melted together with a little shy of a cup of milk. Stuck it in the freezer just a few minutes to 'cool' it down and we had heavy cream.

I have used FAGE brand Greek yogurt in a lot of cases where whipped cream would be good. It is not tart like most yogurts. The only place I have gotten it is at trader Joe's but maybe other Greek stores would be a good source. It is heavier than whipped cream.

Is it ok to use heavy cream instead of whole milk in a recipe for flan?

RE: Substitute for Heavy Whipping Cream
I use fat-free evap milk in recipes that call for cream, especially good to make fat-free "cream" soups.

RE: Substitute for Heavy Whipping Cream
Try canned evaporated milk (low-fat or fat-free) frozen. Pour into aluminum ice tray (without dividers!) and freeze until very mushy. Immediately whip and use. I have found it breaks down a bit quicker than regular whipped cream, so use it right away.
