Milk being poured into a glass

Turn Milk Into Heavy Cream With One Ingredient
Running out of heavy cream right when you need it the most can be frustrating. Luckily, something as simple as butter can help you transform milk into a heavy cream substitute.
Simply whisk together one part of melted butter with three parts of milk, and you'll have a heavy cream-adjacent mixture that can be swapped in most recipes using a 1:1 ratio.
You can use the mix in mashed potatoes, soups, creamy pasta, or your favorite baking recipe, but note that it will not whip into the peaks needed for recipes like chocolate mousse.
