Half and half has a good fat content ranging between 10.5% to 18% fat. It is commonly found in most fridges and is a great substitute for heavy cream, like whole milk is, with a little butter added to it. When it’s done your cream substitute can be used in sauces, dressings, baked goods, and makes a wonderful ganache.
