Understanding Heavy Cream Conversions

The Math Behind This Conversion

To convert 1 gram of heavy cream to us cup, we divide by the density (0.98 g/ml). First, 1g ÷ 0.98 g/ml = 1.0ml. Then, dividing by the us cup volume (236.59ml): 1.0ml ÷ 236.59ml = 0 us cup.

Measurement Tip

For room-temperature recipes, let heavy cream sit out for 15-20 minutes before measuring. Cold heavy cream is slightly denser than room-temperature heavy cream, which can affect very precise recipes. Our density of 0.98 g/ml is based on refrigerated heavy cream.
