• If you want to use low-fat milk, you need to add 1 tablespoon of flour to make the cream thicken.

Mix the ingredients well. Use a hand whisk, whisk, chopstick or spoon to mix ingredients well. Mix for a few minutes until the cream is thick and lathered.

• Be aware that home-made fatty creams won't whip like the high-fat store-bought creams.

Preserving fatty cream (optional). Put the fatty cream in the box and store in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.

Use homemade fatty creams. You can immediately use 1 cup of homemade fatty cream when making baked goods, soups and sauces. advertisement

Method 2 of 2: Work with other ingredients

1. 

   Use skim milk and cornstarch. If you only drink skim milk, you can still use it to make fat cream. In this case, use 1 cup of milk and 2 tablespoons of cornstarch or unscented gelatin to thicken the mixture. Use a whisk to stir the ingredients for 3-4 minutes until it thickens.

2. 

   
   
   Use tofu and soy milk. If you want to make low-fat cream or use it for vegetarian cooking, stir tofu with unsweetened soy milk until smooth.
   • This is a good way to make your own healthy fat cream.

3. 

   Try cottage cheese and milk. Cottage cheese and skim milk powder can be combined in equal amounts to create low-calorie, fat milk. Mix the two ingredients well until a smooth mixture.
   • If formula is not available, you can substitute with skim milk.

4. 

   
   
   Use sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. Cool unsweetened condensed milk and add vanilla essence to your preference.
   • This mixture is suitable for soups that require fatty creams.

5. 

   Use Greek yogurt and milk. Greek yogurt is thicker than regular yogurt and can be used as a substitute for fatty creams, but does not make the dish too fat. If you are making fatty cream crackers or bread, combine half the cheese and half the whole milk so as not to lose the fat taste of the dish.
   • For a cheesecake recipe that focuses on texture, you'll need to use half fat cream and half Greek yogurt to reduce the fat in the recipe.
   • The yogurt will lump when heated too quickly. Therefore, use low heat when cooking soup with Greek yogurt.
   • You can also make your own Greek yogurt by wrapping 2 cups of plain yogurt in cheese fabric. Let the water run out for a few hours and you'll have 1 cup of yogurt.

6. 

   Try half & half milk and butter. For every cup of fatty cream you need in the recipe, you can substitute butter and half & half milk. Melt 1/6 cup butter and let cool. However, make sure the butter does not thicken while it cools. Put 7/8 cups of half & half milk in a bowl and stir well with cooled melted butter.

7. 

   Try low-fat cream cheese. Replacing it with a low-fat cream cheese will still result in a product with the texture similar to the cream, but with a reduction in calories and fat in the recipe.
   • If the dish needs 1 cup of creamy fat, you should only use 1/2 cup of cream cheese.
   • The cream cheese will have a slightly sour taste. So, do not use it for foods that require sweet, fatty creams.

Advice

• Use store-bought fatty ice cream if the recipe requires the exact ingredients as for puff pastry and fragile baked goods.
• For best results, use a cooled metal bowl and whisk. Don't use plastic.
• Making your own fat cream will sometimes result in a less fat product.
• Homemade fatty ice cream can change the flavor of your food, so make sure the alternative is what you like.
• The best way to find out which alternative is right for you is to try different ingredients.

Warning

• Let the butter cool down before combining with the milk. However, do not let the butter cool down to the point that it coagulates.
• When melting butter on the stove, don't let the butter turn brown or burn. This will affect the taste of the fatty cream. If you accidentally burn the butter, discard it and start over.
