Although it may not be the healthiest ingredient, heavy cream is an essential Surprising Uses For Windex
component of many recipes—especially during the holidays. But it’s not an item Beyond Window Cleaning

most of us regularly have in our refrigerator—which can be frustrating if you

come to a recipe that calls for it and realize you don’t have any on hand. Good
news—it turns out you can actually make your own heavy cream from just two
simple ingredients you probably DO have in your fridge right now.

Surprisingly, heavy cream is a breeze to make. All you need is whole milk, butter
and a little bit of elbow grease. To make 1 cup of heavy cream, mix 2/3 cup of
whole milk with 1/3 cup melted butter. Really, it is that simple. As an alternative,
if you don’t have milk on hand, you can also use 1/6 cup butter and 7/8 cup half-
and-half.

There are also a number of other substitutes for heavy cream if the rich
stu! isn’t your thing.

Greek yogurt is a lighter option, but it tends to have a little more tang and
thickness than regular heavy cream.

You can also add 2 tablespoons of cornstarch to 1 cup of skim milk. The
cornstarch helps to thicken up the skim milk, but you skip all that added fat.

And if you’re vegan or lactose-intolerant, you can even make your own
homemade blend using tofu and soy milk. This substitute is low in fat and high in
protein, and it won’t bother your tummy if you are sensitive to dairy.

Other no-prep options include cream cheese and evaporated milk. Whatever the
substitute you choose, remember to experiment when you use them in recipes.
Because they all have a di!erent texture and consistency, be prepared for some
variation in the end product.
