Does heavy whipping cream turn into whipped cream?

Heavy cream actually has a slightly higher milkfat content (around 36%) so you can use it to make whipped cream as well. But don’t try making whipped cream with any other kinds of milk — the milkfat content just isn’t high enough to whip into whipped cream. Whipped cream is at its best right after you whip it.

Why is my whip cream not thickening?
