People will watch you whip half-and-half with their mouths open. They will say, “That’s impossible!” You will smirk and drizzle it on their pie.
It costs less than heavy cream. One quart of half-and-half does the same job for half the price. Your wallet does a happy dance.
Plus, you always have half-and-half for coffee. You now have emergency whipped cream. You are a survivalist in your own kitchen.
A Warning About Flavors
Don’t try this with flavored half-and-half. French vanilla creamer has corn syrup and gums. It will seize up like a grumpy cat.
Stick to plain half-and-half. The cheap store brand works best because it has fewer stabilizers that fight with the gelatin.
