Heavy cream contains 38 percent fat
Whipping cream contains 35 percent fat
Light cream contains 20 percent fat
Half-and-half contains 12 percent fat
Whole milk is usually 4% fat. If there is such a thing as 6% fat milk, you can’t substitute it for cream in recipes that require cream. You’d use it the same way you use whole milk.
Well I saw it today so it exists. I was wondering if it would be good for making yogurt. Maybe I’ll go back and get some.
It would be great for yogurt! Where’d you see it?
