Flavor Impact
No change here — you’ll get the same mild, creamy flavor as half-and-half, since both ingredients are direct components of it.
Texture Changes
This is a perfect texture match! Half-and-half is literally just a mix of milk and cream, so this combination replicates its smooth, creamy consistency without any noticeable difference in moisture or richness.
Structural Effects
Since the fat content is nearly identical, the substitution works seamlessly in recipes for baking, sauces, custards, and soups. It provides the same balance of richness and lightness.
