Whipping. Because of its high milk content, single cream is too thin to be whipped into soft or hard peaks. Double cream, however, is an excellent cream for whipping. It whips quickly into soft and then hard peaks. Some cooks find that double cream is so thick it strains their mixer.n Britain, single cream refers to a milk product that has between 10 percent and 12 percent butterfat.
I often freeze British Double cream, Single cream, Whipping cream and Clotted cream. All of these creams have a higher butterfat percentage than American creams and need a good shake upon defrosting. I would miss British cream terribly should I ever emigrate again.
