I have everything I need but the heavy cream.

Question

Is there anything else I can use in place of the heavy cream?

RaquelO · Answer

Hi Nancy. I ended up making something else. My kid didn't want me to go off-script!

RaquelO - did you make the frosting with the milk, and if yes, how did it work out?

RaquelO · Answer

Thank you! Wasn't sure if having a higher fat content would affect this recipe negatively.

RaquelO · Answer

Thank you!

I would use milk. Just add it gradually until the frosting has the consistency you want.

Nancy · Answer

The cream is a small amount...both logic and a few other recipes suggest milk will work instead of it. See, for example, a KAF recipe for cream cheese icing.
