How to Make Heavy Whipping Cream
If you’re like me and forget the main ingredient of your homemade alfredo sauce at the store….fret no more! Today i’m sharing my homemade heavy whipping cream substitute that you can make. It is rich and creamy but do know that you cannot turn it into whipped cream like the regular stuff (there’s not enough fat.) Make sure to try our popular fettucine alfredo and homemade whipped cream too!
You’ll need about 5 tablespoons of butter and ⅔ cup of whole milk. Now, let’s get started! Stovetop Method: Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat, then add in the milk. Stir until they’re besties.
Microwave Method: Heat the milk in a glass measuring cup for 20 seconds. Meanwhile, slice the butter into 5 pieces in a microwavable bowl and nuke it for 30 seconds. Stir until it’s all melted and gooey. Now, here’s the fun part! Pour the milk into a mason jar, then add the melted butter. Grab your handheld frother wand or immersion blender and blend for about a minute. And just like that, you’ve got your heavy cream!
The key to making this is to have both ingredients warm, otherwise the butter will curdle as soon as it hits the cold milk! Read more FAQ here.
