Chef’s Secret

For stable whipped cream, chill bowl and beaters thoroughly before whipping. Overwhipping can lead to butter formation.

Substitutions

Best Match

Whole Milk + Butter

7/8 cup milk + 1/8 cup melted butter

Good for cooking/baking, mimics fat content, but not for whipping.

Coconut Cream

1:1

Dairy-free, similar richness and texture for most applications, but distinct coconut flavor.

Evaporated Milk

1:1

Thicker than regular milk, can be used in some sauces, less rich.

Cashew Cream

1:1

Dairy-free, made from blended cashews, good for savory and sweet applications.

Buying Guide

Look for pasteurized or ultra-pasteurized. Avoid containers with bulging or damage.
