Heavy Cream: Grams to Cups

Convert grams of heavy cream to cups. 1 US cup = 238g. Heavy cream (also called heavy whipping cream) is a liquid, so it measures the same whether poured gently or with any method.

Heavy cream is measured the same way as water — pour into a liquid measuring cup and read at eye level. Unlike flour, technique does not change the gram weight significantly. Cream weighs slightly more than water (238g/cup vs 237g/cup) due to its fat content.
