Heavy cream freezes fine, and you can even make whipped cream with it. Some of the fat may separate out as you thaw it, but it will re-homogenize.
The linked thread concludes that you can't whip it, but I find that it whips pretty well (maybe a little less billowy than cream that hasn't been frozen, but still good). David Lebovitz discusses this here:
