This may seem like a really dumb question but I'm trying to make green tea ice cream and the recipe calls for heavy cream but I'm not sure what that is I no it has a butterfat content of like 35%-40% but when I go into our commisary I'm not really sure what get nothing is labeled as heavy cream. Does cool whip count as heavy cream?

NO! you want whipping cream - a liquid. usually comes in a small version of the milk carton. heavy cream is best, but light whipping cream would be ok.
cool whip isn't cream at all - it's oil.

No they are totally different. Did you happen to find anything that said Heavy whipping cream? (not the same as cool whip).
You "might" be able to substitute evaporated milk, since its for ice cream.

Just plain old whipping cream in it's liquid, unwhipped form. Should be right next to the milk and coffee cream in the market.

I went to the commisary today and was able to find the whipping cream I was so happy. I couldn't find it before cause for some reason it's not in the dairy isle it was in the coffee and tea isle. Thank you all for your help.
