Default IF statement: how do I simply return the calculation in theconditional as one of the outcomes?

For example, this is what I'm doing currently (simplified the calculation for clarity):

if(A1*B1 < 1, "", A1*B1)

This works fine but isn't there a way to simply return the calculation without having to repeat it manually as one of the returns?

Maybe this will help (using Excel 360 and Windows 10):
=LET(answer, A1*B1 , IF(answer<1, "", answer))
