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.
