Healthy Substitutes For Heavy Cream

 1) To substitute for 1 cup (237 mL) of heavy cream, mix 1/4 cup (57 grams) of melted butter with 3/4 cup (177 mL) of milk. This stand-in is best for cooking and baking, not whipping.

2)  Combine 2/3 cup (159 mL) of soy milk with 1/3 cup (79 mL) of olive oil to substitute for 1 cup (237 mL) of heavy cream. This stand-in is best for adding tenderness and flavor in cooking and baking, not for whipping.

3)To replace 1 cup (237 mL) of heavy cream, add 2 tablespoons (19 grams) of cornstarch to 1 cup (237 mL) of milk and whisk thoroughly. This lower-fat, lower-calorie substitute is best used in cooking. However, it may alter the texture of baked goods and will not whip as well as heavy cream.

4)  To substitute for 1 cup (237 mL) of heavy cream, combine 7/8 cup (232 grams) of half-and-half with 1/8 cup (29 grams) of melted butter. This substitute works in virtually any recipe, including those that require whipping.

5)  Mix equal parts silken tofu and soy milk and blend thoroughly to make a high protein, vegan substitute for heavy cream. This mixture works well to thicken soups and sauces. It can also be whipped like heavy cream.

6 ) For a higher-protein alternative to heavy cream, combine equal parts Greek yogurt and whole milk and use the mixture in place of the same amount of heavy cream. This combination is great for thickening soups or sauces but cannot be used for whipping.

7)   Evaporated milk can be used as a substitute in recipes in which heavy cream is used as a liquid ingredient, such as in baked goods, but it doesn’t whip well. Substitute the heavy cream in your recipes with an equal amount of evaporated milk.

8) Cottage cheese can be a protein- and nutrient-rich substitute for heavy cream. Combine equal parts cottage cheese and milk and blend until all lumps are removed. You can use this mixture in place of the same amount of heavy cream in recipes in which the flavor is compatible.

9)  You can substitute an equal amount of heavy cream with coconut cream and use it as a dairy-free alternative in recipes that call for heavy cream. It can be baked, cooked, and whipped, but it does have a coconut flavor, so choose your recipes accordingly.

10) Cream cheese can be used in place of an equal amount of heavy cream in soups and sauces. It’s not suitable for whipping.
