I use evaporated milk instead of cream and I have even mixed up powered milk really strong, and use it in place of cream. I have not used cream in years. I make icecream a lot, and always use evaporated milk and powered milk, a mixture of the two of them, I never measure how much powered milk, I just pour it into a bowl and add water to make the amount that I want. My icecream always comes out extra smooth and creamy
