Amy, you can find heavy cream at your supermarket in the dairy section. Depending on where you live, it may be called double cream or heavy whipping cream, or just whipping cream. In the United States, it is called heavy cream or whipping cream. In Europe and in some other countries, it is called Double Cream. Good Luck!
