Related to Whipping Cream
Heavy Cream
The richer cousin at around 36% fat or more versus 30 to 35%, and almost the same weight (240 g vs 238 g per cup). Swap straight across in sauces and desserts; heavy cream whips stiffer and holds longer, which is the better pick for piped decorations. See our Heavy Cream converter.
Coconut Cream
The dairy-free swap: chill a can overnight and whip the thick solid layer for a vegan topping. Coconut cream (245 g/cup) carries a mild coconut flavour and whips softer than dairy, so it suits desserts and curries rather than recipes needing a firm, neutral whip. See our Coconut Cream converter.
Crème Fraîche
Crème fraîche is cultured cream with a tangy bite that whipping cream lacks. They are close in weight (230 g vs 238 g per cup), so swap 1:1 in sauces and toppings; whipping cream is the one to reach for when a recipe asks for whipped cream. See crème fraîche in cups.
