If you are anything like us, you struggle to get your day started without a good cup of coffee. While we take our coffee black, there are others who need some combination of sugar, milk, and/or cream.
For some, this can cause major inconveniences when company arrives. We don’t tend to keep cream on hand because we do not personally use it. Plus, it is hard to keep for significant lengths of time.
It’s not something that really holds up to long periods of non-usage. This is especially true for those who reside on rural properties. If you do not have any cream on hand when guests come over, this is a major hassle. No one wants to get into the car and drive to the grocery store at a moment’s notice.
Fortunately, there is an awesome hack that will allow you to make your own heavy cream at home any time you need to. This is a major lifesaver, that is for sure. All you need are two very simple ingredients that we should all have on hand. If you have 2/3 cup of whole milk and 1/3 cup of melted, unsalted butter, you are in business.
It’s really that easy, we promise you. Once you combine these two items and stir them up, you will have all the heavy cream that you could possibly need. This is a welcome change from the issues that we normally have when it comes time to find a proper substitution for heavy cream.
For example, we have tried to use whole milk in the past when we are making pasta sauce. There’s just no way to match the thick, flavorful goodness of heavy cream with other kitchen items.
Best of all, you can take the heavy cream and whip it up when you are done with it. After all, we all love whipped cream and there are no shortage of usages for this topping!
Now that summertime is right around the corner, we are definitely going to be wanting some refreshing cream.
