Are coconut cream and thick coconut cream the same thing?

Yes. Thick coconut cream is another name for coconut cream, so they are the same ingredient and measure identically. A cup of coconut cream weighs 245 grams under either name, and every conversion on this page holds whichever name your recipe uses. Recipes swap the two freely, so you can follow either without changing quantities or weighing any differently.

What is 0.25 cups of coconut cream in tablespoons?

0.25 cups of coconut cream is 4.17 tablespoons. This is the same for any ingredient, since cups and tablespoons are both volume units and do not depend on what you are measuring. One cup is about 16.67 tablespoons, so 0.5 cups is 8.33 tablespoons. Use the volume converter to switch between cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, and millilitres for any amount.

How much does a cup of coconut cream weigh?

1 cup of coconut cream in grams is 245 grams. The ratio is fixed, so 2 cups is 490 grams and half a cup is 122.5 grams. Weighing coconut cream by the cup is the most common way to measure it for baking. See the full cup to grams chart for coconut cream, or use the converter on this page for any other amount.

Coconut Cream Measurement Converter

Use the tool below to convert coconut cream from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.

Coconut cream is the rich, fatty layer that rises to the top of tinned coconut milk, sold separately as a thick paste in 160 ml or 400 ml tins. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 245 grams or 8.64 ounces. When a recipe calls for coconut cream in cups but the tin lists grams, converting by weight keeps the body of curries, dairy-free whipped toppings, and vegan ganache where it should be.

Coconut cream tins are sold in millilitres or grams, but recipes call for cups or tablespoons. Converting between the four stops you opening a second tin mid-recipe or wasting half of one.

Related to Coconut Cream

Coconut Milk

Coconut milk is the thinner blended liquid, close in weight (240 g vs 245 g per cup) but far less concentrated. For a true coconut-cream body, chill a tin and lift off the solid layer, or simmer the milk down; use it straight only where a looser curry or sauce is fine. See our Coconut Milk converter.

Heavy Cream

The dairy swap when coconut flavour is unwanted: heavy cream is richer milk fat at around 36% versus coconut's 24%, and almost the same weight (240 g vs 245 g per cup). It whips firmer and tastes neutral, so it suits ganache, sauces, and toppings where a plain cream reads better. See our Heavy Cream converter.

Desiccated Coconut

Desiccated coconut is the dried, shredded flesh that coconut cream is pressed from. Use the cream for richness in curries and vegan ganache, and the dry form when a bake needs coconut crunch and structure instead of liquid. See our Desiccated Coconut converter.
