👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
In a medium bowl or measuring cup, combine the whole milk and the melted unsalted butter.
-
2
Whisk vigorously for at least 1-2 minutes until the butter is fully incorporated into the milk and the mixture appears homogenous and slightly thickened. This emulsifies the fat and creates a creamy texture.
-
3
Use immediately in your recipe as a 1:1 substitute for heavy cream in cooked dishes like sauces, soups, or casseroles. Note that this substitute will not whip like traditional heavy cream.
💡 Notes
This substitute is best for recipes where heavy cream is added for richness and thickening, not for whipping. For dairy-free options, consider chilled coconut cream or blended cashew cream.
