Like our list of recipes with half and half, or condensed milk desserts, these recipes with heavy cream are yummy and easy.

For example, there is an easy strawberry shortcake recipe and brown sugar whipped cream. But there are also savory recipes like tortellini in asparagus broth and the creamiest mashed potatoes you’ve ever had.

So are you ready to explore this tasty list?

Let’s dive in!

Easy Strawberry Shortcake

You’ll love how easy it is to make this summertime strawberry shortcake from Nicole of The Fresh Apron. You replace the butter with heavy whipping cream for the biscuit to make it light and flaky.
