Is whipping cream and heavy cream the same thing?
In recipes I keep seeing "heavy cream" but when I go to the store the only cream I am finding is "whipping cream" and I am wondering it they are the same thing and/or interchangeable.

Whipping cream yes whipped cream no. Whipped cream is like cool whip.
The variety is defined by their milk fat content.
- Cream is the high-fat component of milk.
- Heavy cream and heavy whipped cream are different names for essentially the same thing: cream that is 36% or more milk fat, and which doubles in volume when whipped.
- Light whipped cream is between 30 and 36% milk fat
