THE RECIPES
HINT FOR LOWER-FAT RECIPES
For lower fat content, substitute 1% milk for whole milk, whole milk for half
and half; and evaporated skim milk for whipping cream. Higher fat dairy
products – such as whipping cream – create a smooth, rich and creamy
dessert. Lower fat dairy products create a lighter dessert with a slightly
different texture.
