Heavy Cream — Frequently Asked Questions
238 grams of heavy cream is exactly 1 US cup. Heavy cream is slightly lighter than water (237g/cup) because fat is less dense than water.
Heavy cream has 36%+ fat; whipping cream has 30–36% fat. Both whip well, but heavy cream creates a stiffer, more stable whipped cream that holds its shape longer. Both weigh approximately 238g per cup.
UK double cream has 48% fat vs US heavy cream at 36%+. Double cream whips much stiffer and weighs approximately 233g per cup (lighter due to even more fat content). For US recipes, double cream can be substituted directly for heavy cream.
1 cup (238g) of heavy cream whips to approximately 2 cups of whipped cream. The cream almost exactly doubles in volume as air is incorporated. Over-whipping causes the fat to separate and the cream to "break."
For cooking sauces, yes (with reduced richness). For whipped cream, no — milk does not have enough fat to whip. For baking, replace 1 cup heavy cream with 3/4 cup milk + 1/4 cup melted butter (227g total) to approximate the fat content.
Heavy cream lasts 5–7 days after opening when refrigerated. Look for the sell-by date on the packaging. If cream smells sour or has lumps, discard it. UHT heavy cream lasts up to 60 days unopened.
