Using a slotted spoon, remove mussels and place in a large bowl. Discard any mussels that have not opened. Cover rest to keep warm.
Bring liquid in pot to a rolling boil; boil 5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and boil 3 to 5 minutes until thickened slightly. Spoon mussels into wide shallow bowls, pour broth over top of mussels. Serve with crusty bread and green salad.
