whats the difference between craem and whipping cream, can i subs one to another?

Question

cream are ( milk, light, heavy, double, half and half... i think they are just the same, the difefrence is on the fat content....is it true?)

Answer 1

Yes. Which one you use depends on what you need it for. Double cream will whip up with a pinch of sugar to make a nice dessert topping, but I wouldn't recommend it for a sauce. If you are making a cream sauce for a savory dish, you can use either light or half and half. If you're making a custard, you can use either full fat milk or double cream, but you would not use the same amount of each.
