Can I use heavy whipping cream
or half-and-half for heavy cream?
Q: I found a recipe for caramels that calls for heavy
cream but all I can find in the grocery store is heavy whipping
cream or half & half. Some recipes call for sweetened condensed
milk which I tried and liked but wanted to try cream. Which should
I use? The heavy whipping cream or the half and half? Thanks
so much.
A: Definitely go with the heavy whipping cream...which
is actually heavy cream, but with a more "descriptive"
name! However, if it just said "whipping cream" on
the label without the word "heavy', then the fat content
would be slightly lower than the "heavy cream" version.
Half-and-half is even lower in fat content, which is basically
half milk and half whipping cream, thus half-and-half should
not be used as a substitute for heavy cream.
Another substitute you could use in a pinch in place of heavy
cream would be undiluted evaporated milk.
