Instructions

1. Use thickened skim milk in place of heavy cream. Use ingredients such as cornstarch, flour or unflavored gelatin, to thicken skim milk.

2. Mix a can of evaporated milk with unflavored gelatin and water. Let it sit and thicken, and use it in place of heavy cream when making cakes, cookies or muffins.

3. Create a low-fat, vegan substitute for heavy cream by combining silk tofu with plain soy milk. Blend the ingredients together until there are no lumps and use as a whipped cream substitute.

4. Thicken sauces with low-fat cottage cheese or ricotta cheese, instead of heavy cream. Mix the cottage cheese or ricotta cheese with low-fat or skim milk, until smooth, and add to recipes.

5. Make a whipped, heavy cream substitute with evaporated milk and vanilla extract. Chill the evaporated milk first, add the vanilla and mix.
