Heavy cream is not usually an ingredient dietitians talk about as being good for individuals they work with. According to food.com, heavy cream, also called heavy whipping cream, is a milk with a fat content of between 36 and 40 percent; it's so heavy with fat that it can be whipped into light, fluffy clouds. Whipping cream doubles in volume when whipped. Heavy cream is not the same as the British double cream. Double cream has 48% butterfat, 8% higher than the highest-fat cream available in the United States.
I have found heavy cream can be used is an alternative to milk and yogurt in shakes to add delicious, satisfying calories and protein for individuals who need what I call "more bang for the buck" or more calories in a smaller quantity. Can you imagine combining heavy whipping cream, chocolate ice cream, peanut butter and chocolate syrup into a delicious shake that has over 500 calories and 10 grams of protein in just 1 cup? This definitely has a better taste than commercial supplements! To get this and other shake recipes, order your copy of Flavorful Fortified Food - Recipes to Enrich Life today.
Although it's hard to conceive of this, if you don't have heavy cream, you can add 1/3 cups of melted butter to 3/4 cup milk and use it for cooking. This substitution can not be used for whipping.
