what is half and half?

 

[Yvessa]

Its single cream and double cream mixed if I remember right. its an american thing.

Try fat free yoghurt instead reduces the far content or fat free fromage frais.

 

[MissCurves]

“Half and half” is a mixture of half heavy cream and half whole milk....If your going to substitute with yogurt or fromage frais,I would put a tiny bit of milk in it so is not so thick, and more of a milk/cream consistency.

Point taken & welcomed. Just because someone thinks they have a useful tweak doesn't mean it will work. Thanks for the input.

 

[MissCurves]

No problem... My pleasure
