Can I replace heavy cream with whipping cream?

Heavy cream and heavy whipping cream are essentially the same thing, and both must contain at least 36% or more milk fat. Whipping cream, or light whipping cream, is lighter (as you'd expect) and contains 30% to 35% milk fat. Heavy cream will whip better and hold its shape longer than whipping cream.
Regarding this, what is a good substitute for heavy cream?
In some recipes, you can substitute 3/4 cup milk plus 1/3 cup butter or margarine for 1 cup of heavy cream. If your recipe calls for whipping that cream, it won't work. You need the fat that's in heavy cream in order to get whipped volume.
Also to know is, can I use whipping cream instead of heavy cream in cheesecake?
Heavy cream and heavy whipping cream are almost the same thing. The only difference is the amount of fat they contain. (That means that heavy cream actually produces better, thicker whipped cream!) Since this is going into a cheesecake, I think that this will be an acceptable substitution.
- Butter and milk. Share on Pinterest Mixing milk and butter creates a substitute for heavy cream.
- Oil and dairy-free milk. To make the equivalent of 1 cup of a dairy-free heavy cream substitute, try the following recipe:
- Full-fat coconut cream.
- Evaporated milk.
- Brown rice and low-fat milk.
- Cashew cream.
- White beans.
