What is the difference heavy cream and whipping cream?

What is the difference heavy cream and whipping cream?

The only difference: the amount of milk fat. "Heavy Cream has slightly more milk fat (36%) so it produces a thicker whipped cream that will hold its shape a little longer once whipped," Grant tells us. "Whipping cream has slightly less milk fat (30%), yielding a lighter whipped cream that is a bit more time sensitive."

Can I use double cream instead of whipping cream?

Double cream has a high fat content which makes it very good for whipping. However it is difficult to find outside the UK and it is possible in most cases to use whipping cream (in the US heavy cream) as an alternative. You always use the same amount of cream if substituting whipping cream.
