Answers: im making fettucine alfredo on valentines day for my boyfriend, but hes trying to watch his weight, and I know because of the heavy whipping cream that its fatting, so I was wondering what else can I use? Like half and half or what?

If you use half-and-half, it won't thicken the same as heavy cream, so your sauce would be more liquid.
For the tirimisu, I'd recommend picking up some instant espresso at a grocery store, and follow the directions, it will be much cheaper than getting 2-1/2 cups of espresso in a cafe, as a single serving is usually about 1/4 cup.
regular whipping cream or half and half
i would get the espresso
Substitute heavy cream with bechamel sauce - here's the link for a recipe:

For espresso, you can substitute with same quantity of strong coffee. Good luck!
