Heavy Cream and Whipping Cream are pretty much the same thing, according to Grant, one of the brilliant members of our culinary team. 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."

And that, he says, is it.

"That's all!"
