nope go to the store and get heavy cream...you carmel won't be as rich and heavy if you use 2%

heavy cream is VERY different from 2% milk. go to the store.

No. Heavy cream helps the caramel to become thick. 2% will cook too fast and thin and quite possibly burn your caramel.

You really need the cream....sorry.

of course, it just might not taste exactly the same as you wanted it to.

No, no and no!

Probably not a good idea to make that switch because cream is heavier and milk might not hold up as well.

go to the store, you cannot substitute

Yep, heavy cream is way thicker. Milk will probably not work.

No..the recipe calls for heavy creme because of the fat content and the thickness of the milk...2% just want cut it...

No it would be to runny, but you can use lite half and half.

no you'll jave to use a heavy cream.

no 2 heavy and 2 light creams will work

get your keys and go to the market.

Not in the least, milk has a completely different consistancy than heavy cream, it wouldn't come out right. Just look up a different recipe.

sorry...but NO! Even with substitutes like the
S something, can't think of it's name and I use it all the time on cereal etc....but even thought it says it can be used in backed goods...rethink that too. there is a great low fat creamy potato soup on the web today..I think It's on the ediet site. Email me if you want it...I just made it for lunch for my husband, who is home because of road closures all over in Idaho...it's really yummy! ?

"GET YOUR KEYS!!! "
LOVE THAT RESPONSE ?

yes, if you want your recipe to turn out not that tasty.

I would use half the amount milk and then extra butter. Haven't tried it myself though . If it is still a bit too runny, you could thicken with a bit of corn starch

NO!!! 1) heavy cream makes the caramel thick. 2) Heavy cream has FAT!!

no you cant

Go to the market!

2% milk is not even real milk, much less cream!
