heavy cream
Butterfat-rich dairy liquid
Heavy cream is cream with a high fat content, typically 36% or higher, making it thick enough to whip into stiff peaks.
It's the richest grade of cream commonly available: The recipe calls for a cup of heavy cream.
Also called heavy whipping cream or, in British English, double cream.
