If I take two cups of cream and reduce it by half by boiling for a suace, is the nutritional index the same as two cups, one cup, or something inbetween?

I am trying to determine if I could it as 1 Tbs or 2.

Thanks!

    2 cups of cream, boiled down, will still have the same calories. You are evaporating water, not fat and calories.

    I agree it should be very close to the same.

    sigh :). That is what I figured - but somewhere along the line it has to change - if you reduced it to 1/4 of a cup would it still be 1,600 calories?

    Same calories because all you are removing is the water as already stated.
