Because half-and-half is just a coward. It’s too scared to be cream. It’s milk with a tiny bit of fat that went to a party but left early.
Real heavy cream has about 36-40% butterfat. Half-and-half has a sad 10-18%. We need to pump those numbers up. Gym time for dairy.
You’re basically giving half-and-half a pep talk and a fat injection. It’s beautiful.
