Heavy cream, sometimes labeled heavy whipping cream, has a slightly higher fat content than whipping cream, but either will work well in this recipe. Just don't substitute light cream or half-and-half they won't whip up. For the best results, chill the bowl and beaters for at least an hour before whipping cream.
