See below - you'll be increasing the fast content quite a bit. you might want to
cut it a little.

Light cream, also called coffee or table cream, can contain anywhere from 18 to
30 percent fat, but commonly contains 20 percent. Light whipping cream, the form
most commonly available, contains 30 to 36 percent milk fat and sometimes
stabilizers and emulsifiers. Heavy cream, also called heavy whipping cream, is
whipping cream with a milk fat content of between 36 and 40 percent. It's
usually only available in specialty or gourmet markets. Whipping cream will
double in volume when whipped. Half-and-half is a mixture of equal parts milk
and cream, and is 10 to 12 percent milk fat. Neither half-and-half nor light
cream can be whipped.
