whipping cream
Peaks when beaten
Whipping cream is cream with enough fat content—typically 30 to 36 percent—to hold air when beaten, producing a light, fluffy texture.
It's used for topping desserts, filling pastries, or folding into mousses.
Heavy whipping cream has slightly more fat and whips more stiffly: Top with a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
