Double (thick/heavy) cream It is also the most versatile of all the cream because it withstands boiling and whips and freezes well. Handle it with care though as it's very easy to whip into butter if you're not careful.
A cream with a high fat content like double cream will whip faster but be less fluffy and stiffer. A lower fat pouring cream will take much longer to whip but you'll get lots of volume. To incorporate more air, whip by hand rather than using an electric beater.

Heavy cream, also known as heavy whipping cream, is a term used mostly in the US while thickened cream is a term used more often in Australia. The fat content is roughly the same in both thickened and heavy cream.

Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract on medium-high speed until medium peaks form, about 3–4 minutes. Medium peaks are between soft/loose peaks and stiff peaks, and are the perfect consistency for topping and piping on desserts.
In Australia, heavy cream is commonly known as thickened cream, The two both contain similar milk fat content percentages and are generally interchangeable in recipes.
One of the most common mistakes people make when their cream won't whip is that the cream is not cold enough. To get to the proper fluffy texture, the cream has to be chilled. There is not an exact temperature it has to be at, but it has to be cold.
Thickened cream is readily available in Australian supermarkets such as Coles and Woolworths. But if you're cooking and need a cup of heavy cream, and don't have any on hand, don't freak out. You can create your own substitute by mixing ¾ cup milk and ¼ melted butter.
You'll have more control—and stronger forearms—if you do it the old-fashioned way. Grab a cold bowl, and chill your heavy cream before beginning; cold cream whips better. Once chilled, use a whisk to beat the cream back and forth until soft peaks begin to form.

If you take your whisk out of the bowl, more of the cream will cling to the whisk but any peaks will quickly soften. Watch for firm peaks (7 to 8 minutes). The trails in the cream will become stiffer and stiffer, and the cream will start to take on volume.
However, if it is whipped cream that might be a few days old and looks more runny than it should, don't worry – that is completely normal. Whipped cream breaks down after sitting around for too long.
