Heavy cream has 36-40% fat; whipping cream has 30-36%. Heavy cream whips more firmly and is more stable. Both work for most recipes but heavy cream is richer.
Can heavy cream be substituted with milk?
Not directly. For 1 cup heavy cream, mix 3/4 cup milk with 1/4 cup melted butter for cooking (won't whip). Half-and-half or whole milk with cornstarch can work in some recipes.
Is heavy cream keto-friendly?
Yes, heavy cream is excellent for keto with high fat and very low carbs (less than 1g per tablespoon). It's a staple for keto coffee and low-carb desserts.
