Recipe for heavy cream or whipping cream

With all the holiday baking going on, I thought some of you might find this useful. I had a hard time finding heavy cream, but did find heavy cream for whipping, which is almost as good. (fat content is a bit lower)

Try this today: If you don’t have heavy cream or whipping cream at home, you can make your own heavy cream like this:

Melt 1/3 cup (73 grams) of butter in a saucepan.
Add 2/3 cup (160 mL) of whole milk.
Stir over medium-low heat until well combined.

This comes from https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/heavy-cream-vs-heavy-whipping-cream
