Wow, only 300ml? I would've guessed closer to 500ml or more! That's awesome that a small amount of heavy cream per day can cause you to balloon up like that!

300 ml is nearly 1,000 calories. If you eat normally during the day and have 300 ml of cream daily, you should gain around 2 lbs a week.
Peanuts are nearly the same number of calories (828 cal per cup), so if you eat a bit more than a cup of peanuts a day along with the cream you should gain 4 lbs a week - providing you are totally sedentary and able to digest the cream properly lol.
This is right and that's why I'm gaining pretty fast. The trick for me is to have the cream and peanuts at times when it doesn't affect my appetite for normal meals. If I overdo the cream or have it just before bed then the consequences (acid reflux) tends to put me off the whole gaining thing.
Have been eating 300g of peanuts a day (1800 cals) on some days.
