Morphology
The phrase is fully compositional: 'cream' names the dairy product, 'whipping' indicates it is suitable for whipping (from the verb 'whip'), and 'heavy' signals a higher-fat, denser variety. A B1 learner who knows those constituent meanings can readily infer that it is a high-fat cream used for whipping, so the MWE is transparent.
Etymology
Heavy whipping cream is a dairy name that tells you what it is: heavy means very rich and thick, and whipping shows you can beat it into light foam. So the name means a rich cream you can 'whip' into a fluffy topping or use in rich sauces.
