Why Use Half And Half?
Half and half is a blend of equal parts whole milk and light cream, which gives it a creamier texture than regular milk but not as heavy as heavy cream. It's the perfect substitute for evaporated milk in this recipe as it adds a rich and creamy flavor without making the pie too heavy. You can also use heavy cream if you prefer a richer pie, but half and half is a great alternative if you want to cut down on the calories and fat.
