Yes.
Edit: For some things, No for others.
If you are using it in baking for a cake, cookies, bread, in a sauce for pasta, a cream soup base it should be fine but less rich.
But if you need to whip the cream icing filling, make it part of a custard (ice cream, creme brulee) or make ganache most all purpose cream is not rich or thick enough.
A whipping cream needs to be above 30% or so to whip properly. It will seem twice as thick as most all purpose coffee creams depending on the area your all purpose cream is probably between 10-20% fat. So you may not be able to replace it with regular cream and get the same results.
Lard or Margarine
Yes, you can substitute lard for vegetable shortening in buttercream icing, but it will affect the texture and flavor. Lard has a distinct taste that may not be as neutral as shortening, which could alter the overall flavor of the icing. Additionally, lard may make the icing softer, so you might need to adjust the amount of powdered sugar or refrigerate the icing for better consistency.
Cream cheese does not have lard in it normally.
Yes, lard can be used in place of margarine in recipes where a buttery flavor is not essential.
Yes, or even the same amount in butter :)
Lard can be used to replace butter in shortcrust pastry recipes and gives good results. The most effective method is to substitute half the specified butter quantity with lard, rather than use lard entirely.
Several groups of people don't eat lard. Lard is made from pig fat. This prevents vegetarians, vegans, Muslims, and Jews from eating products made with lard. A good substitute is vegetable oil shortening.
Ones that have cream bases might have some.
Sure, you can use cream cheese instead of butter in cake, but be prepared for a denser and more moist texture. The flavor will also be slightly tangier due to the cream cheese. So go ahead, give it a try and see if you like the results!
Lard is the rendered fat from pork. Bacon grease is also the rendered fat from pork bacon.Essentially it is the same fat with the taste and smell of bacon.
YES, why do you think it take a while for it to melt compared to a regular soft serve ice cream cone
Lard is not used in Arab countries; most Arabian people are Islamic, and Islam forbids the use of pork or pork products. Suet ( أ. شحم الماشية ) would be an acceptable substitute.
