Expert Tips
Heavy cream (36%+ fat) whips to stiff peaks and is essential for ganache, whipped cream, and rich sauces.
Cold heavy cream whips better than warm cream. Chill your bowl and beaters for best results.
Heavy cream can be thinned with milk to make a half-and-half substitute: equal parts cream and milk.
