Whipping cream, also known as heavy cream, is a dairy product with a high fat content, typically around 36-40%. It's used in cooking and baking to add richness, creaminess, and thickness to dishes. When whipped, it incorporates air, creating a light and fluffy texture, perfect for toppings or fillings in desserts. However, buttermilk, though also a dairy product, isn't a suitable substitute for
heavy whipping cream due to its thin consistency and tangy flavor. Buttermilk lacks the richness and fat content required for achieving the same results in recipes calling for whipping cream, making it unsuitable for most applications.
