Heavy cream is whipping cream :) also known as heavy whipping cream

[no mayonnaise]

Heavy cream = heavy whipping cream = whipping cream

They all contain roughly 36% or more fat content.

And a side note, whipping cream turns into WHIPPED cream. I hate it when people call whipped cream whipping cream. Almost as much as a hate it when people say "un-thaw" :/

I feel a little less crazy now that I have met someone like me. One that truly drives me bonkers is "I could care less"

My mother and most of my family say "unthaw"

I've seen "heavy cream" and "whipping cream" in the store and they can be used pretty much interchangeably. Heavy cream has just a bit more fat, but that is about the only difference.

Now my store carries "whipping cream" and "heavy whipping cream" to add to the confusion.

Unthaw must mean when you stick food back in the freezer after it has "unfrozen".

This is true.

Heavy cream and whipping cream are not always the same thing. And you're right, they can be used interchangeably and the only difference is the fat content.

If it's labeled "whipping cream" its usually light whipping cream which contains 30-36% fat. If it's labeled "heavy cream" or "heavy whipping cream" it has to have at least 36% fat.

Just curious....do these people also say that they are "unsleeping"
during the day?

And are they "unfasting" when they are eating?

And maybe they are "unwalking" when they are sitting down.

People are crazy. Fortunately I never make mistakes.......except
for when I'm awake.
