This is such a simple heavy cream recipe and very inexpensive to make. This is not meant to be used like whipped cream- just when a recipe calls for heavy cream and you hate to buy a 1/2 pint just for a few tablespoon needed in the recipe..Keep these recipes refrigerated. Also the second recipe is very delicious! You can't go wrong with these recipes in a pinch. It's a great way to save on calories for your holiday baking and for your drinks too- like coffee or Kahlua and cream coffee or other drinks requiring cream.
