Heavy Cream

In a pinch, for every 1 cup of heavy cream needed, mix 2/3 cup of whole milk with 1/3 cup melted unsalted butter. This works well for cooking and baking, but it won't whip like real heavy cream. For a dairy-free alternative, chilled coconut cream can be whipped or used in recipes similarly to heavy cream. If you need something richer than milk, another substitute is half-and-half and butter: mix 3/4 cup of half-and-half with 1/4 cup melted butter to approximate the fat content of heavy cream.

Heavy cream is found in the dairy section of the grocery store, usually near other milk products like half-and-half, light cream, and milk. It's typically sold in cartons or plastic containers, and you may find it in both small sizes for home use and larger sizes for commercial use.
