About Heavy Cream

Heavy cream, often referred to as heavy whipping cream, is a high-fat dairy product containing at least 36% milk fat. Its richness imparts a luxurious texture and moistness to baked goods, while enhancing flavor and ensuring tender crumb structure. In baking, its ability to whip into stiff peaks makes it ideal for creating stable whipped toppings and fillings. Additionally, heavy cream's fat content provides stability to batters and doughs, making it a versatile ingredient for cakes, pastries, muffins, and quick breads that require both richness and structure.
