Depending on the recipe, sometimes I use canned evaporated milk to sub for cream, too. It doesn't whip, but it works well for cream soups, and heavy sauces like Alfredo and Mornay.

I use evaporated milk to and it works really well. It can whip but you have to have some power tools to get it there.

Well it's worth knowing that Creme Fraiche works just as well in most recipes, I use it all the time instead of heavy cream, especially the low fat creme fraiche. The reason for doing so is the calories are way lower & the taste is just as good. I think you'd still have to go to the store though.
