Can you find whipping cream? I think it's the same as heavy cream.

Can you check another grocery store?  Where are you?  Most dairy cases in the Bronx where I live stock heavy or whipping cream.Home made caramel sauce is amazing, btw. :))

I've used evaporated milk for this purpose several times for caramel sauce with satisfactory results.

Maybe some of the pastry chefs here can help more....you may be able to boost the fat content of other cream by adding melted butter, then make your caramel.
