Cream is the fatty liquid that rises to the top of whole milk when the milk is allowed to stand. Cream can be classified as heavy cream or light cream depending on the butterfat content. Heavy cream contains about 36 percent butterfat and is suitable for whipping.
If you don't have heavy cream in your fridge, or you're unable to find it at your local grocery store, here are a few substitutions you can try:
1cup heavy cream = ¾ C milk + 1/3 C butter (will not whip)
OR
evaporated milk (especially in cream sauces)
OR
blend equal parts milk and cottage cheese
Have fun experimenting!

Heavy cream has a fat content between 36 - 40%. Substituting whipping cream will not seriously compromise your recipe. Ask in your local supermarket if they stock heavy cream.

Heavy cream is that component of milk that has been seperated out that contains the most butterfat and is the cream you also buy when you make your own homemade whipped cream. You will find it in the dairy section of your supermarket.

Like Heavy Water, it's radioactive!
No not really ... it's just full cream, not mixed with milk. Most grocery stores carry it in the dairy coolers.
Newsomfam told you that it's a byproduct of churning milk. Milk gets Pasteurized, not churned! Churning is what you do when you make butter. It has nothing to do with milk or cream!

Heavy cream is the stuff leftover after the churning process to make milk.
You usually find it in the dairy section with the milk, in pint and quart sizes. Larger stores will have it, some of the smaller ones will not.

Go to the section of your grocerie store where you buy milk, and you will find heavy cream in cardboard milk cartons. It's not to expensive 3 or 4 dollars.

I reckon it means double cream as opposed to single cream... what is the recipe?

Also known as whole cream. Half and half is half heavy cream and half milk, so whole cream is thicker (more fat in it).
