Check the actual cream specification rather than relying on the product name. The reference calls for heavy cream of at least 35% fat in its salted caramel and uses a separate portion of whipped heavy cream to aerate mousse.

That does not establish an automatic substitution for every whipping cream, especially sweetened non-dairy products. For the entremet demonstrated today, the chef should confirm the exact product and fat percentage before you substitute.
