Tips

  • Cornstarch mixed with milk isn’t technically heavy whipping cream, but it does a great job mimicking the thickness and richness.
  • This substitute is perfect for creamy soups, sauces, and weeknight recipes when you need a fast stand-in.
  • Do not use this substitute for whipping or in drinks like coffee.
  • Use 1:1 in your cozy recipes.
