Can you dilute heavy cream as substitute for milk?

Heavy cream has a high fat content (usually around 36-40%), which makes it unsuitable for direct use as a milk substitute. Diluting heavy cream with water will reduce its fat content, but it will still not provide the same nutritional value as milk.

Milk, on the other hand, has a lower fat content (usually around 3-5%) and is a good source of protein, calcium, and other essential nutrients. Using heavy cream as a milk substitute may result in a deficiency of these important nutrients.

If you are looking for a milk substitute due to lactose intolerance or vegan preferences, there are several plant-based milk alternatives available, such as soy milk, almond milk, oat milk, or rice milk, that provide similar nutritional value to cow's milk.
