Description

This Homemade Heavy Whipping Cream recipe is a simple and quick way to create rich and creamy heavy cream using just two everyday ingredients. Perfect for cooking, baking, or whipping to add luscious texture and flavor to your favorite recipes, this DIY cream is an excellent substitute when store-bought heavy cream is unavailable.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup whole milk (preferably full-fat)
  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter (melted)


Instructions

  1. Melt the butter: Gently melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat until fully liquefied but not browned. Allow it to cool slightly.
  2. Combine with milk: Pour the melted butter into a blender or mixing bowl. Add the whole milk to the melted butter.
  3. Blend thoroughly: Using a blender or an immersion blender, blend the mixture on medium speed for about 30 seconds to 1 minute until the mixture thickens and emulsifies, resembling heavy cream consistency.
  4. Chill before use: Transfer the homemade heavy whipping cream to a container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up. Use as you would regular heavy cream.

Notes

  • Use full-fat whole milk and unsalted butter for the best creamy texture and flavor.
  • Ensure the melted butter is not too hot when mixing to prevent curdling.
  • This homemade cream works great for cooking and baking but may not whip exactly like store-bought heavy cream.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in a sealed container.
