What can you substitute light cream for in a recipe for a cheese sauce?

Try evaporated milk as a substitute for light cream. It's slightly thicker than regular milk so the texture of the sauce will be similar, and it comes in 2% or fat free. The color of the sauce will be slightly darker because of the color of the milk, but if that is not an issue the sauce should come out well in appearance and flavor.

What can you substitute for whipping cream?
If you are planning on WHIPPING the cream, say to make whipping cream for a dessert, there really isn't a substitute you could make at home. There are of course commercial substitutes that are made with oil, but you're far better off using the real thing. You also shouldn't substitute for cream when baking, because the ratios in baking for flour, fats, proteins, leavening agents and the like are temperamental, and its best not to tamper with them unless you know what you are doing. If you have a cooking recipe that calls for heavy cream, however, such as for a cream soup, or adding to a sauce, you can substitute either milk, half and half or light cream, and just add a few tablespoons of butter. I believe the ratio is three tablespoons of butter to each cup of milk to approximate heavy cream, if you are using light cream, you could probably reduce the butter to two tablespoons per cup.

Can you substitute milk for half and half?
It really depends on the recipe and the needed consistency. In most cases, half&half or even whole milk can be substituted for light cream to make a recipe healthier. If the recipe calls for heavy cream, it's really a judgment call. You might try a halved recipe with half&half to test before making a full batch. Substituting half&half or milk in a recipe calling for sweet (whipping) cream is generally NOT recommended.
