Heavy cream意思

"Heavy cream" is a term used in English-speaking countries to describe a high-fat content cream that is suitable for whipping. It is also known as "heavy whipping cream" or simply "whipping cream." The name "heavy cream" implies that it has a higher fat content than other types of cream, which makes it ideal for whipping and for use in cooking and baking.

The fat content of heavy cream can vary, but it is typically around 36-40%. This high fat content is what gives heavy cream its rich flavor and creamy texture, as well as its ability to hold air when whipped, which results in a light and fluffy texture.

Heavy cream is used in a variety of culinary applications, including desserts such as whipped cream for cakes and pies, in savory dishes for adding richness and creaminess, and in coffee and tea as a creamer. It is also used in baking to add moisture and richness to cakes, pastries, and other baked goods.
