Substitutes for Heavy Cream 35% in gelato
Heavy cream is the concentrated fat fraction of cow's milk, standardized here to 35% milk fat with roughly 5-6% milk solids-not-fat and the balance water. In gelato it is the primary carrier of butterfat, building richness, body and flavour release while adding almost no sweetness. Closest matches on the balancing numbers, ranked. Swap and adjust as noted.
