I have a recipe for cookies and cream filling that calls for "heavy cream". Is that the same as whipped cream or table cream? HELP!!!

Yes when you go to the store you will see on there are a few different kinds of cream. The heavy cream has more fat in it and is easier to whip.

It's actually heavy whipping cream. It's a little thicker than just whipping cream. It does make a difference. I sent my DH to the store for heavy whipping cream and he brought whipping cream. It took longer and wasn't as thick.

heavy cream contains at least 36-40% milk fat. It's always written on labels, whipping cream has 35% MF. Still searching for heavy cream from where I live. It's hard to find it. I'm substituting WC to HC but you have to be careful. Depends on what purpose it is for. good luck!
