Well now, let’s talk about them sweet things, you know, them desserts. The kind that make your mouth water and your belly happy. We’re gonna use that half and half cream stuff, yeah, the one in the carton. Not too thick, not too thin, just right, like Goldilocks and her porridge, ya hear?
Easy Peasy Desserts Using Half and Half Cream
First off, you gotta know, I ain’t no fancy baker. I like things simple. No fuss, no muss. And that half and half cream? It’s a lifesaver. Makes things creamy and dreamy without all the heavy lifting. So, let’s get down to business.
- Puddin’ it is! You take that instant puddin’ mix, yeah, the one you get at the store. Don’t matter what flavor, chocolate, vanilla, banana, whatever tickles your fancy. Now, instead of using just milk, you use half and half. Or maybe half milk, half cream, you get the idea. Makes it richer, you see. Stir it up good, let it sit in the fridge for a bit, and bam! You got yourself a dessert fit for a king, or at least for my grandkids.
- Freezy Fruity Thingamajigs: Got some leftover fruit? Strawberries, peaches, whatever’s lookin’ a bit sad in the bowl? Don’t you throw it away! Mash it up a bit, add a little sugar, maybe a squeeze of lemon, and then pour in that half and half cream. Mix it all together, pour it in little cups or popsicle molds, and stick it in the freezer. Couple hours later, you got yourself some real nice freezy treats. Kids love ’em, and they’re good for ya, too, I reckon. At least better than that store-bought stuff with all them funny words on the label.
Now, some folks like to get all fancy-pants with their desserts. They got their whisks and their mixers and their whatnots. Me? I just use a spoon and a bowl. Works just fine. And that half and half cream? It works in all sorts of things.

And if you’re feeling a bit adventurous, you can even make a quick and easy ice cream. No ice cream maker needed, mind you.
