You can approximate heavy cream using half-and-half by combining it with melted butter.
Here's how:
-
Combine Ingredients: Mix ⅞ cup (7/8 cup) of half-and-half with ⅛ cup (1/8 cup) of melted butter.
-
Mix Thoroughly: Ensure the melted butter is completely incorporated into the half-and-half for a smooth consistency.
While this mixture won't be an exact substitute for heavy cream, it will offer a richer consistency than using half-and-half alone, making it suitable for some recipes. Keep in mind that it may not whip as stiffly as heavy cream.
