how much cooking cream is called for--do you think having the wrong thing won't make much difference in the end result. It depends on the purpose of the ingredient...often there are interchangeable options .
and yes...half & half is used for things beyond coffee.
The recipe calls for half a cup/125 mL. That would be blended in with a big can of crushed tomatoes, tomato paste, and a lot of grated cheese. So if need be I guess I could use maybe a quarter cup whipping cream and a quarter cup milk. I don't want the sauce to end up getting too cakey during the baking.
