Is heavy whipping cream the same as all purpose cream?

No, heavy whipping cream and all-purpose cream are not the same. Heavy whipping cream, also known as heavy cream, is a dairy product with a high fat content, typically between 30% and 36%. It is made from cow's milk and contains a higher percentage of butterfat than all-purpose cream. Heavy whipping cream is often used for making whipped cream, ice cream, mousses, and other desserts that require a rich, creamy texture.

All-purpose cream, on the other hand, is a lighter cream with a lower fat content, typically between 18% and 30%. It is often used in cooking and baking as a general-purpose cream, and can be used in sauces, soups, and desserts. All-purpose cream is also commonly used in beverages such as coffee and tea.
