    Half & Half Substitutes

    Have you ever started a recipe only to realize you don’t have the half & half that it calls for?

    It can make a big difference if you do not substitute the fat content the recipe is looking for.

    These are half & half substitutes you can make.

    What is half & half?

    Half & half is half whole milk (full-fat milk), and half-light cream.

    Cream has more fat content than whole milk, coming in at about 10-12%. While milk has only 3.25% fat.

    Because of this, the cream gives the whole milk a little bit more fat content than milk on its own. It also avoids being too rich if you only use cream.

    Half & Half Substitutes

    What can I do if I don’t have any?

    If you are out of any type of cream, we need to find a way to replace the fat content.

    You can do so by adding butter with milk and that’s what we’ll do with the first recipe.

    What other recipes can you use half & half substitute in?

    • Cajun Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
    • Cream of Mushroom Soup
    • Creamy Loaded Potato Soup
    • Instant Pot Hamburger Helper
    • One-Pot Three-Cheese Chicken and Spinach Pasta
    • Shrimp in Garlic Wine Sauce
    • Starbucks Strawberries and Cream Frappuccino Cupcakes
    • Ultimate Cheesy Au Gratin Potatoes

    Enjoy!
