Half and half has a good fat content ranging between 10.5% to 18% fat. It is commonly found in most fridges and is a great substitute for heavy cream, like whole milk is, with a little butter added to it. When it’s done your cream substitute can be used in sauces, dressings, baked goods, and makes a wonderful ganache.

How To Make half & half and butter substitute for heavy cream

1
Cut butter into pats and place in a microwavable bowl.

2
Melt butter in the microwave in 15-second intervals.
3
Stir butter in between intervals until it’s just melted.
4
Put half and half in a microwavable bowl.
5
Microwave the half and half for 15-second intervals to warm it (2-3 times max). It needs to be a little warm, about room temperature. If the half and half is too warm, stir and let it sit for a couple of minutes.
6
Pour the melted butter and the half and half into the blender, in that order.
7
It is ready to be used. Do not refrigerate or it will separate.
