Heavy Cream
Ounce to Gram
Understanding Heavy Cream Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion
To convert 1 ounces of heavy cream to grams, multiply by 28.3495 (the number of grams per ounce). So 1oz × 28.3495 = 28.3g.
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.
About Our Data
The density value of 0.98 g/ml for heavy cream is from the USDA FoodData Central database (ID: 170859). This measurement was taken with heavy cream poured into the measuring cup.

Weighing heavy cream gives more consistent results than volume measurements. A cup of heavy cream can vary by 10-20% depending on how it's measured (spooned vs scooped). Professional bakers always weigh ingredients for this reason.
Heavy Cream has a density of 0.98 g/ml, meaning each milliliter weighs 0.98 grams. Different ingredients have different densities—for example, flour is lighter than sugar—which is why each needs its own conversion factor.
