Related to Heavy Cream
Whipping Cream
Closest swap. Whipping cream is 30 to 35% fat to heavy cream's 36%+. Whipped peaks soften faster, so eat sooner; everything else works the same. See our Whipping Cream converter.
Coconut Cream
Vegan-friendly swap. Whips well when chilled overnight. Adds a coconut note, so best in tropical or chocolate desserts. See our Coconut Cream converter.
Crème Fraîche
Crème fraîche is cultured cream with a tang that heavy cream lacks, though both share a high fat content. They are close in weight (230 g vs 240 g per cup), so swap 1:1 in sauces and toppings; heavy cream is the one to reach for when you need to whip. See what 1 tablespoon of crème fraîche is in ounces.
Sour Cream
Sour cream is cultured cream, thicker and tangier than heavy cream though similar in weight (250 g vs 240 g per cup). To swap in sauces, stir 1 teaspoon of lemon juice into 1 cup of heavy cream to mimic the tang; heavy cream alone gives a milder, sweeter result. See what 1 tablespoon of sour cream is in ounces.
Milk
Heavy cream is far richer than milk, with around 36% fat compared to 3 to 4% in whole milk. They are close in weight (240 g vs 258 g per cup), but mixing 3/4 cup of milk with 1/4 cup of melted butter gives a closer stand-in for heavy cream in cooked sauces.
