Can I substitute condensed milk for cream?

I've substituted both for cream (and vice versa) in pie recipes. Just remember condensed milk is already sweetened so cut back on any added sugar. These condensed milks also have a somewhat "cooked" flavor as opposed to the taste of fresh cream or milk.

Can coffee creamer substitute for heavy cream?

What is all purpose cream?

Is there a difference between cream and heavy cream?

Heavy cream and heavy whipping cream are essentially the same thing, and both must contain at least 36% or more milk fat. Whipping cream, or light whipping cream, is lighter (as you'd expect) and contains 30% to 35% milk fat. ... Heavy cream will whip better and hold its shape longer than whipping cream.

What is the difference between light cream and half and half?

There's even less of a difference between light cream vs. half-and-half than there is between heavy cream vs. half-and-half. The FDA requires that products labeled as light cream contain between 18 and 30 percent milkfat, which means that it is fattier than half-and-half but not as rich and creamy as heavy cream.

What is light cream made of?

Light cream is cream which contains not less than 18 percent but less than 30 percent milkfat. It's also great in coffee, especially if you're looking for an especially rich cup, but it still doesn't have enough fat to be whipped successfully.

What can you substitute for light cream?

For one cup light cream substitute equal amounts of half and half. OR - Use 1/2 cup evaporated milk plus 1/2 cup whole milk. OR - For cooking use 7/8 cup whole milk and 3 tablespoons of butter or margarine.

Can I add butter to light cream to make heavy cream?

Adding butter helps increase the fat percentage of half-and-half, making it a suitable alternative to heavy cream in almost any recipe, including those that require whipping. You can also use half-and-half to replace heavy cream without adding butter in certain recipes, such as sauces and soups.

How can I thicken cream?

There are several ways to thicken without turning it into whipped cream or imparting other flavors:

1. Boil until reduced to desired thickness (whisk constantly, do not burn which will cause the flavor to change)
2. Add and incorporate gelatin.
3. Add and incorporate corn starch or flour.
