Heavy Whipping Cream - 1 Pint

Whip it for pie and berries, pour it into your morning coffee, or stir it into soups and sauces. Folks who cook with it tell us it gives butter chicken and creamy soups a nice consistency, and fans call it creamy and smooth without feeling too heavy. For whipped cream, start with it cold straight from the fridge and use a chilled bowl.

The gellan gum is a stabilizer made by fermentation that helps keep the cream smooth and consistent. Each pint holds about 32 one-tablespoon servings at 50 calories each. It's perishable, so keep it refrigerated.

At Horizon, our farmers are the heart of everything we do. We're proud to work with family farms all around the country, from California to New York, to produce our dairy products. And we're always thinking about how we can make life better for our cows.

Common Questions

What's the difference between heavy cream and whipping cream?
The difference is fat content, and our Horizon Organic Heavy Whipping Cream sits on the heavy side. In the US, cream labeled heavy cream or heavy whipping cream has at least 36% milkfat, while plain whipping cream (sometimes called light whipping cream) has 30 to 36%. More fat means the cream whips up firmer, holds its peaks longer and stays stable when you simmer it in a sauce. Whipping cream still whips, but it comes out softer and loses its shape sooner.

Is there an organic heavy cream without carrageenan?
Yes, Horizon Organic Heavy Whipping Cream is certified organic and has no carrageenan. Its ingredient list is grade A organic cream and gellan gum. It's also produced without GMOs and has no artificial colors, flavors or preservatives. It's certified kosher too. At Horizon, we do our best to source simple, recognizable ingredients, and we work with family farms all around the country, from California to New York, to make our dairy.

What kind of cream is best for soups and curries without curdling?
Heavy cream is the safest choice for hot dishes, and our shoppers use Horizon Organic Heavy Whipping Cream in soups and butter chicken. They tell us it gives a nice consistency. Its high fat content helps heavy cream hold together when heated, while milk and half-and-half are more likely to split. Stir it in near the end of cooking and keep the pot at a gentle simmer rather than a hard boil. Fans say it tastes creamy and smooth without feeling too heavy.

Why is there gellan gum in Horizon Organic Heavy Whipping Cream?
Gellan gum is the only ingredient in Horizon Organic Heavy Whipping Cream besides grade A organic cream, and it's there as a stabilizer. Gellan gum is made by fermentation. In cream, it helps keep the texture even and slows the fat from separating in the carton.

Does Horizon Organic Heavy Whipping Cream whip well?
Yes, Horizon Organic Heavy Whipping Cream is a heavy whipping cream made for whipping. A few shoppers say it hasn't whipped the way they expected. For the best whip, keep everything cold. Keep the cream refrigerated right up until you use it, and chill your bowl and beaters too. Whip until you see soft or stiff peaks, then stop, because cream that's whipped too long turns grainy and heads toward butter. Whipped cream roughly doubles in volume as it whips.

Is Horizon heavy cream good in coffee?
Lots of folks pour Horizon Organic Heavy Whipping Cream into their coffee, and many enjoy it there. Some tell us it thickens around the pour spout or doesn't blend as smoothly as they'd like. Cream's fat naturally rises and firms up when it's cold, so give the carton a good shake before pouring and stir it into hot coffee. A splash goes a long way, since it's much richer than half-and-half.
