Heavy Cream and Whipping Cream are technically different.... albeit, not by much: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition...am#fat-content

Basically, Heavy Cream is >36% fat, Whipping Cream is 30-36%.

Back in my days in the restaurant kitchen we'd always use heavy cream for Alfredo pasta reductions, etc. and whipping cream for desserts... hard to imagine many could tell a difference but I'm sure the cranky chef I worked under thought he could and specifically ordered each.
