When fresh strawberries are unavailable, substitute frozen as follows: if unsweetened, use equal amounts as fresh; if sweetened, reduce sugar in recipe by 1 cup per quart of strawberries; if sweetened with sugar syrup, reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe.

If you want to make ganache frosting and you do not have heavy cream on hand you can substitute melted ice cream. Melt the ice cream and then measure out the same amount that was called for in heavy cream.

When you run out of whipped cream, whip slightly thawed vanilla ice cream until it becomes smooth and forms peaks. Use on your pie or other desserts as a topping.
