4 Heavy Cream Swaps You Already Have at Home

Missing heavy cream for your recipe? No need to stress or run to the store—there are so many easy swaps you can use! Here’s how to do it: Mix 1/4 cup unsalted butter with 3/4 cup whole milk for a quick fix. Just whisk together at room temp. For vegan or dairy-free needs, coconut cream or a blend of plant milk and oil works great. Use equal parts coconut cream or 2/3 cup plant milk with 1/3 cup oil for each cup of heavy cream. Want to thicken soups or sauces? Blend equal parts Greek yogurt and milk, or try puréed tofu for a plant-based option. For desserts, mascarpone, sour cream, or crème fraîche can step in. Just swap 1:1 for heavy cream. I’ve tried most of these and they work surprisingly well—just pick what fits your recipe best! #BakingTips #DairyFree #KitchenHacks #Food #Cooking
