This fat-free half and half can be stirred directly into hot beverages like coffee or tea to create a lighter, creamier drink. It can also be incorporated into recipes for soups, sauces, and gravies to add a smooth texture and subtle richness. When baking, it can be used in place of regular half and half or milk in some recipes, though it may affect the final texture or browning slightly. It is best added towards the end of cooking to prevent curdling, especially in acidic dishes.
