What is it for? I have made a few things that ask for double cream but I just use normal cream.

I think double cream is sold in pottles where cream is displayed in supermarkets. . it's thicker. .

jamit. I just use ordinary cream for both. Single cream is probably the similar to the lite cream you can buy and double to our ordinary cream. Basically it is the fat content of the cream which defines single from double. Most English recipes state the use of either and I have only ever used standard cream and had no problems whatsoever.

I just use ordinary cream. Single cream is probably what, as kids, we skimmed off the top of our bottle of milk. ! !

The Anchor cream sold here is equivalent to the double cream in the UK

this is crazy stuff! ! Its easy to thicken cream!
Why Oh Why would you buy cream that has been thicken with Gelatin ! !
Whip it a bit! sigh. Its a ploy to make you buy things you don't need for extra cost! !

I may be wrong but single cream is not a cream you would use for whipping and double cream is our normal cream.

They were asking for double cream which is completely different from thickened cream.
