Best Answer

If you do not have half and half you can substitute with one of two things. First you can use milk, though this will not be nearly as creamy and can effect both the taste and texture of what you are making. Alternatively, if you have heavy cream you can mix the cream with low-fat milk for homemade half and half.

Boil one cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of milk in a saucepan over medium heat. This will evaporate some of the liquid and help the cream mixture to thicken.
