For example, to make a custard requiring 1 cup of light cream ( American half and half), put 3 tablespoons of butter into a one cup measure, then fill the cup with milk Using nondairy milk (I prefer soy or oat for custards!) put 3 tablespoons of neutral oil like coconut or avocado, or a vegan butter substitute into the one cup measure thenHalfandhalf is a simply a combination of milk (typically whole milk) and cream, with the fat content ranging anywhere from 10% to 18% Because of the milk, it can't be whipped like cream, however it's great for adding richness and fat to recipes when heavy cream is too much, but whole milk isn't enoughYou can also use skim milk to make halfandhalf Instead of using equal parts of milk and cream, use 2/3 cup of lowfat milk and 1/3 cup of heavy cream to make a seamless substitution Another
