Yes double cream can be used in recipes that need boiled and will double cream will usually boil just fine without problems.

However single cream will not boil well and will curl when cooked but double cream will work just fine when you need to boil or cook the double cream.

In recipes that call for whipping cream or double cream you must use the whipping or double cream and not substitute it with single cream.

If you use single cream in a recipe that calls for whipping cream or double cream then the single cream will curl and the recipe won't turn out right.

But it's fine to boil double cream as I've done it several times before and the recipe has turned out just fine every time I did so.
