heavy or light whipping cream, is a rich dairy product with a butterfat content of at least 36 percent. For the best flavor and cooking properties, buy 100 percent natural fresh cream with a short shelf life printed on the carton; avoid long-lasting varieties that have been processed by ultraheat methods. Heavy or light cream is also known as single or double cream.

I use heavy cream to make "brigadeiros" and "olhos de sogra"


Explanation:
These are typical Brazilian sweets... Suggest leaving the names in Potuguese and explaining what they are, although there'a a hint for it in Google: "chocolate fudge candy". I ddn't find any for "olho de sogra". Think "prunes stuffed with coconut mix" would perfectly and shortly describe it...

Cocoa, butter and condensed milk are cooked, allowed to cool and formed into
little balls for easy eating.

... Place the balls in candy cups to serve. They are great for birthday parties.

disagree  Claudia Massey: I believe also should be single cream or double cream not heavy cream.
1 hr
  -> as far as I know, heavy cream is closest to our specific kind here in Brazil...

agree  Claudia Costa: Only cream milk is fine. I buy it all the time at Shoppers. Just don't forget to mention "milk". The rest is really good, because we don't translate our cuisine.
