Scale
Ingredients
- 2/3 cup whole milk (preferably full-fat)
- 1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted)
Instructions
- Melt the Butter: Gently melt the unsalted butter until fully liquid but not hot, ensuring it is ready to blend smoothly with the milk.
- Combine Milk and Butter: In a blender or mixing bowl, pour 2/3 cup of whole milk. Slowly add the melted butter while blending at medium speed.
- Blend Until Thickened: Continue blending for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly and emulsifies into a creamy consistency resembling heavy whipping cream.
- Chill Before Use: Pour the mixture into a container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to thicken further and chill before using it as a substitute for heavy cream.
Notes
- Use full-fat whole milk for best results and creaminess.
- Ensure the butter is melted but slightly cooled to avoid cooking the milk while blending.
- This homemade heavy cream works well in cooking, baking, or whipping for desserts, but it may not whip as stiffly as store-bought heavy cream.
- Store any unused cream covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
