The first one you said.

Heavy cream and whipping cream are the same half and half is half cream and half milk so you cannot have it

the different ranking of whipping cream have to do with how much fat is actually in them. Since on Atkins you want the higher fat one you what the heavy whipping cream or heavy cream.

Happy low carbing.

Does anyone know what the Australian equivalent to "half-and-half" cream is?

I have only managed to find double cream, thickened cream, cream, whipped cream and lite cream here and I can't work out which one half-and-half woudl refer to.
