Half and half

[BakingMad91]

I've just received the free ice cream maker for my Kitchenaid so ive decided to have a go at making some ice cream this weekend.

One of the ingredients I need is half and half, the book does say this is 10% fat cream, but I can't remember seeing this is the shops. Does anyone know where I can buy it from or if there's another name for it?

I think half and half is single cream. Heavy cream is double.

The link above works out half and half as 15% and UK single cream as 18% so it should be fine!

Apparently you can substitute it with half cream, half whole milk

In Belgium half and half is Half white wine half champagne. unhelpful

(Sorry was trying to cross out unhelpful but failed! So looks a bit weird!)

It's a north american thing- we have it here in Canada - it's a light cream you use for coffee.

3 parts single cream to one part milk would be a good sub i'd say

Could be worse, ringsming - round here it's half chips, half rice (with curry).

When I was growing up (in the Netherlands) my mum would ask for Half and Half at the butchers.
It was half pork mince and half beef mince.

I though half and half was half cream and half milk

Yep - half rice half chips. Now THAT
would be interesting ice cream.

Half icing sugar and half ground almonds in France.
