How can I use stub to mock httpclient in C#

How can I use stub to mock HTTP client while unit testing in c# code?

I don't want to use Moq because I have a method to create http client instance which is static but not virtual.

Code:

public static class HttpClientFactory
{
    public static IHttpClient httpClient;

    public static IHttpClient CreateHttpClient()
    {
        if(httpClient == null)
            httpClient = new HttpClient();
        return httpClient;
    }
}

Why can't you just make your IHttpClient non-static and get rid of factory ?

public interface IHttpClient {}
public class HttpClient : IHttpClient {}

And just mock IHttpClient and implement methods, then inject it (in constructor or property)

public class SomeStuff 
{
    public IHttpClient Client { get; }
    public SomeStuff(IHttpClient client) 
    {
        Client = client;
    }
}
