double cream
Extra-thick pouring cream
Double cream is a rich, thick cream with a high butterfat content—typically around 48%—used in British cooking and baking.
It whips easily and holds its shape, making it ideal for desserts and toppings.
The American equivalent is heavy cream or heavy whipping cream, though double cream is slightly richer.
