I made ½ batch of this to use in Southwest Chicken with Chipotle Cream . As others have said, it works beautifully in a cream sauce! It took nowhere near 5 minutes (more like 1 minute ) to get thick and fluffy. It blended into the sauce quickly with no graininess. That said, the uncooked taste was not like heavy cream. The powdered milk whang was very predominant. I would not hesitate to use this again in a cooked dish but would be skeptical of using it an uncooked dish where the taste would be more evident. Thanks for posting a recipe that I am sure to use time and time again!

    I am sooo glad to have found this recipe! I used this to make fettucine alfredo last night and my son didn't have a clue that it wasn't the usual 'heart attack on a plate' alfredo. It was so AWESOME to eat it without feeling like I had to run longer on the treadmill to make up for the indulgence. Thank you so much!

    The first time I used this was in a recipe where the heavy cream was a minor ingredient- and I couldn't tell the difference. This time I used it as the base for "Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce" Olive Garden Alfredo Sauce. I've made enough alfredo sauces to know that this substitute changed the texture a bit, but the flavor was terrific! Well worth it to lower the fat content of one of the most artery-clogging (and tastiest) sauces known to man!
