light cream or half and half
it's just light cream. It's 18% milk fat. Light whipping cream is 30-36% fat, heavy whipping at least 36%. Half and Half is 10.5-18%. :)
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.
No. At best light cream can be whipped using a CO2 charged whip cream canister. Other than that, only whipping cream or heavy cream has enough fat content to "whip".
No. Light cream typically has a lower fat content than whipping cream (though a higher content than half and half). Fat content can vary, but typically light cream is at about 20-30% fat, whereas heavy (whipping) cream is at 30-36%. Because of the lower proportion of fat to liquid, light cream does not whip. You can whip it all day and it will basically just look like foamy milk.
They are the same - can both be used to make whipped cream and can be used, when say making your own Alfredo Fettuccine Cheese Sauce. There is a difference though in light cream, half-n-half and heavy cream.
Yes it's pretty much the same thing.

No. Half and half is half cream and half milk; whipped cream is, well, cream that has been whipped. You might be able to whip half-and-half, but it still wouldn't be "the same" as whipped cream.
Yes, in fact most ice cream recipes call for both milk and cream which is what half and half is, half cream and half milk.
