What is double cream in us?

Double cream in the US is a rich dairy product with a high fat content, typically around 48% or more. It is thicker and creamier than regular whipping cream, making it ideal for adding richness and texture to dishes.

Double cream is often used in desserts, such as mousses, custards, and ganache, as well as in savory dishes like creamy soups and sauces. It can also be whipped to make a decadent topping for desserts or hot drinks.

In the US, double cream can be harder to find than regular whipping cream, but it is usually available in specialty grocery stores or online. It is also sometimes referred to as heavy cream, but true double cream has a higher fat content than standard heavy cream.

Due to its high fat content, double cream should be used in moderation, as it can be quite rich and calorie-dense. However, it can add a luxurious and indulgent touch to many dishes when used sparingly.
