You can easily use half and half in place of cream on its own for a lower fat option or add in 1 or 2 tablespoons butter per 1 2 cup of half and half to make up for the missing fat. Be sure it doesn t solidify again though. A cup of heavy cream has 800 calories and 88 grams of fat. To substitute heavy cream in recipes even in the ones that require whipping cream start by melting 1 8 cup of butter in a saucepan.
Next pour 7 8 cup of half and half into the bowl. Once it s melted add the butter to a bowl and set aside for a minute to cool. It lends a similar flavor and texture to food with fewer calories than heavy cream. However if you are making mashed potatoes.
You simply put about 1 5 the amount of heavy cream as you would half and half and compensate for the lack of volume with hot water. Heavy cream on the other hand is a thicker and richer cream that contains at least 36 percent milkfat nearly double that of half and half. Half and half is an acceptable lower fat substitute for heavy cream in most recipes according to taste of home magazine.
