I have a carton that I have no other use for. All recipes I have found call for regular whipping cream.

You bet! Get it very cold, put it in a chilled jar with a tight lid, and shake well!
Best wishes!

Yes you can.....
1-2 cups heavy whipping cream, or double cream (1/3 liter)
(preferably without carrageenan or other stabilizers)
Fit food processor with plastic blade, whisk, or normal chopping blade. Fill food processor about 1/4 - 1/2 full. Blend. The cream will go through the following stages: Sloshy, frothy, soft whipped cream, firm whipped cream, coarse whipped cream. Then, suddenly, the cream will seize, its smooth shape will collapse, and the whirring will change to sloshing. The butter is now fine grained bits of butter in buttermilk, and a few seconds later, a glob of yellowish butter will separate from milky buttermilk. Drain the buttermilk.
You can eat the butter now -- it has a light taste -- though it will store better if you wash and work it. Add 1/2 cup (100 mL) of ice-cold water, and blend further. Discard wash water and repeat until the wash water is clear. Now, work butter to remove suspended water. Either place damp butter into a cool bowl and knead with a potato masher or two forks; or put in large covered jar, and shake or tumble. Continue working, pouring out the water occasionally, until most of the water is removed. The butter is now ready. Put butter in a butter crock, ramekins, or roll in waxy freezer paper.

I make a light creamy butter spread using whipping cream and my hand mixer. It's fast easy and delicious! I usually add a tiny bit of salt for flavor and I'm going to experiment with making some fruit butter spreads for the holiday!

Yes, you can use it. The fat content will be higher, but the taste is great! Just put a little salt on it before starting to whip for better butter tasting, otherwise it will be kind of sweet.

yes, the only difference between regular cream and heavy cream is the butter fat content. Heavy cream will make excelent butter.
