What exactly is the difference between using whipping cream and heavy cream in baking?

I'm specifically referring to pies here since I made a peaches and cream pie with heavy cream and it came out very runny. Would it have been less runny if I had used whipping cream? The recipe I used didn't specify what kind of cream.What exactly is the difference between using whipping cream and heavy cream in baking?
Whipping cream and heavy cream are the same thing. I find that to keep cream from getting runny, before whipping the cream, put the beaters and aGLASS or STAINLESS STEEL bowl into the freezer for at least 1 hr. Cream whips very well when the utensils are very cold and does not whip well when you use a plastic bowl.What exactly is the difference between using whipping cream and heavy cream in baking?
They are pretty much the same thing...except one has been whipped and the other hasn't.
they are the same thing. whipping cream is essentially designed for whipping but its the same thing
I personally don't think there is any real difference between the two.
What did you use to set the cream? Usually, there is a thickener added in a recipe.





Whipping cream and heavy cream are the same product.
