Hi Mohamed.
35% fat cream isn’t heavy. That’s regular thickened cream.
Heavy cream, or double cream is around 53% fat.

Hi Mohamed
Welcome to the Scoolinary community, and thank you for your question.
Using heavy cream with 35% fat in pastry cream is important for several reasons:
1. Texture and Consistency: Heavy cream with a high fat content gives pastry cream a richer and smoother texture. The fat helps provide body and a creamier mouthfeel, which is ideal for fillings and decorations.
2. Stability: The fat in heavy cream contributes to the stability of the pastry cream, helping it maintain its shape and consistency even after refrigeration. This is especially important when used as a filling in cakes or tarts that need to hold their structure.
3. Flavor: Fat is a flavor carrier, and using heavy cream enhances the flavor profile of the pastry cream, making it richer and with a more pronounced dairy taste.
4. Emulsifying Ability: Heavy cream has a better capacity to emulsify ingredients, meaning it helps better integrate and combine the flavors and textures in the pastry cream.
In summary, heavy cream with 35% fat is essential for achieving a pastry cream that is rich, stable, and full of flavor.
We hope this information is helpful.
Best regards.
