Heavy Cream

1 Pint

  Heavy cream contains 36 to 40 percent milkfat, which is what creates a silky consistency in recipes. It is the main ingredient in whipped cream and some ice creams. You can make both sweet and savory dishes more decadent. Heavy cream is fattier and thicker than light cream, whipping cream (yes, there is a difference), half-and-half, whole milk, and evaporated Heavy cream's high fat content means that it won't curdle when heated and is the best choice for whipping.
