Quick cooking question

[hjo3]

I'm making some ice cream that calls for 2 cups of heavy cream and two cups of light cream. But I only have a quart of heavy cream and a quart of half and half. In what ratio/volumes can I mix them to get the equivalent of what the recipe calls for?

Thanks

Have any skim milk?

No, but I have a gallon of 2%.

Okay, I worked it out with fat %s from this wiki page -- 3 cups of hvy cream + 1 cup half & half gives me ~31% fat, which is close enough to the target 32%.

Homemade ice cream ftw.

You control what goes in. Sugar, fruit, dairy. That's it!

Get some liquid nitrogen.
