Here’s how you can make a rich, homemade heavy whipping cream substitute from scratch using just a couple of simple ingredients. While it won’t exactly replicate store-bought heavy cream (since that requires a specific milk fat content), it works beautifully for most recipes — especially in cooking and baking.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Yields: 1 cup
Ingredients:
- 2/3 cup whole milk (or 2% milk for a lighter version)
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted and slightly cooled)
- Optional: 1 tablespoon powdered milk (for extra richness)
