Sour cream vs heavy whipping cream

[Sussan Estela Olaya]

Hi Jolly! Thank you for your question.

Sour cream and heavy whipped cream are actually two different ingredients.

Sour cream is a fermented dairy product, with a thick texture and a slightly tangy flavor. It’s commonly used in both sweet and savory recipes in the U.S.

Heavy whipped cream (or heavy cream) is a rich, unfermented cream with a high fat content. It’s usually whipped to soft or stiff peaks for use in desserts.

Could you let me know which recipe or course you saw this ingredient in? That way, I can better understand the context and give you a more accurate answer.
I’ll be happy to hear back from you!Best regards.
