Heavy cream in the Us is like our double cream - it contains a high percentage of fat something like 70% so great for whipping and holding in hot sauces!.
We have whipping cream in England a thinner version used for whipping but still good for sauces and not so much fat content!.
Single which I think is your half and half is thin, no good for cooking as it splits or whipping because it can't - but good for pouring on desserts or in coffee!.
