Morphology
The meaning 'cream that can be whipped to form a light foam' is directly derivable from combining 'whip' (to beat or whisk) with 'cream' (dairy fat). The -ing modifier signals the intended use (cream for whipping), a transparent compositional pattern common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Whipping cream is rich cream that you can whip into a light, thick foam. That's why its name shows what you do and connects to the 'whipped cream' you put on desserts.
