Are cream and whipping cream interchangeable?
In the UK, whipping cream is just a type of cream sold for
whipping. (And actually, double cream works better for whipped
cream toppings). Whipped cream is a type of fresh cream, in the
sense that double cream, single cream, clotted cream etc... are all
types of fresh cream. Whipped cream is not "the same as" fresh
cream, it is a member of the "fresh cream" group. If a recipe just
says "serve with fresh cream", it's best just to pick a type of
cream that suits your needs (i.e pourable or non-pourable).
