Substituting milk with whipping cream
I'm making a corn bake in the crock pot that calls for 1 1/2 cups of milk. How much whipping cream would I use?
Best Answer
As the previous answer says, there is an enormous difference between milk and cream.
However, it is possible to reach a rough substitute for milk by mixing your cream with an equal amount of water by volume - in your case, 3/4 cream and 3/4 cup water.
It won't be exactly the same (the fat content will still be substantially higher than it would be if you used milk, and if you do a taste test, comparing the flavor of whole milk to a 50/50 cream/water mix, you'll see that the flavor is also very different), but it should work.
However, there is a chance that the higher fat content will lead to the sauce breaking, so if you want to be 100% sure of success, go get some milk. If you're willing to gamble a bit, try diluting the cream.

Answer 2
Whole milk is 3.5 % fat.
Whipping Cream is 35 % fat.
That's a big difference.
Unless there's a another fat in your recipe that you can reduce, I don't see that you can substitute cream for milk without completely changing the recipe.
