No, because the scientific composition of the cellular structure of half and half has less oxygen-phosphate molecules than heavy cream. Although, if you alter the cellular activity by using a magnetic beam to separate the atoms and fuse the neutrons and protons, you can get heavy half and half, which is biologically approximate to heavy cream.

If you are using the heavy cream to whip, half and half won't work. If you are using the cream just for flavor and texture, half and half can be used and will work fine.

In general, yes. For most recipes, it will be fine. Half and half will be a little lighter. The heavy cream will give it a more rich creamy texture. However, if you are in a jam, it will usually do just fine.

Can you use heavy whipping cream instead of half and half?

Use equal parts of cream and milk to replace the same amount of half-and-half. Half-and-half is half milk, half light cream. Your substitute will have a little more butterfat than regular half-and-half, but will work in most recipes.

What kind of cream do you use for homemade ice cream?

Pure cream high in milk fat is best for ice cream. Read the label: it should say, contains cream (and give the percentage of fat) and might also list the small amount of water which naturally occurs in cream. The cream shouldn't contain any thickeners (gelatine and so on), colours, flavours, sugars or preservatives. Just cream. Heavy cream (called double cream in the UK) and light cream (called single cream in the UK) are the two types of cream most people use when making homemade ice cream. Heavy cream is higher in butterfat content. See the 'Cream in ice cream' link below for more information.
