@SharkE Depending what you're making, you could try Greek or full-fat yogurt.

Google it. Seems you need some dairy and fat but really depends on what you're making. How about half & half or just splurge on the heavy cream and use up the rest for whipped cream, add to coffee, soups, decadent sauce, etc.

Cooking Substitute for Heavy Cream

Milk and Butter

This combination is great when your recipe does not call for whipped heavy cream. To make a substitute, melt 1/3 cup unsalted butter and add to 3/4 cup milk. If you prefer to use low-fat milk, add 1 tablespoon flour to thicken your mixture and stir well.

Getting ready to make an oatmeal cake and the icing needs 1/4 c of cream, but, just throw in milk LOL

For an icing or glaze - I've had recipes that required 1/4c of milk and I just use water instead.  I think it's as good or better.  I seldom have milk on hand, unless it's for a planned recipe, so I found that water worked well.

I think your sub of milk for cream was probably more than fine for that sort of recipe.

I rarely have milk on hand either.  I use powdered non dairy creamer for everything.

Try adding some vanilla pudding. I use it in whipped cream to keep it firm.  I'm thinking it would work for you.
