It is a light cream undefined by regulation, but typically 12 to 13 percent butterfat. Normal milk is considered to be 3.2 percent butterfat, whipping cream is 32 percent and heavy cream is 40 percent. Half and Half is also called coffee cream, and most dairies produce a wide range of fluid milk products depending on the need of the market, from skim (less than one percent butterfat) to confectionary cream at 50 percent butterfat.
Heavy Cream or Heavy "Whipping" Cream has 36 - 40% butterfat and when whipped it holds its form and doubles in volume. Heavy cream is used for filling and decorating pastries .
