Can milk be used instead of cream for Ganache?

Hi laurinda,

If you use milk as a substitute for cream, it may be much thinner of a consistency than you need for the recipe (especially if it calls for heavy cream).

Something I have heard of is blending cottage cheese with half and half for a lower-fat version of heavy cream. You could experiment doing it with milk, but I still don't think it would have the same consistency.

Good luck!

No, it's not thick enough and you may have to whip it some later on.
