If you're cooking, you can add butter and water to half and half to get an equivalent amount of heavy cream.
Heavy cream is 36% fat, half and half is 10% fat, butter is 81% fat. And water is 0% fat :). So, we just need to balance the half and half, butter, and water to give us the same volume and the same amount of fat.
To mimic one cup of heavy cream, use
.5 cup (121g) of half and half plus
.4 cup (91g) of butter plus
1/8 cup (28g) water.
I've done this for candy making (truffles and caramels) and it works fine. But I doubt this will do the trick for uses (like whipping) which don't involve cooking.
