Crème Fraîche Measurement Converter
Use the tool below to convert crème fraîche from the measurements in your recipe to the measurements that you need.
Crème fraîche is thick cultured cream with a rich, tangy flavour and a fat content of around 30%. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 230 grams or 8.11 ounces. It is used in sauces, soups, and tarts, and holds together when heated without splitting like regular cream.
Tubs of crème fraîche are sold by weight, but recipes often call for cups or tablespoons. Converting between the two stops you reaching for a second tub mid-recipe or wasting the end of one.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are crème fraîche and creme fraiche the same thing?
- Yes. Creme fraiche is another name for crème fraîche, so they are the same ingredient and measure identically. A cup of crème fraîche weighs 230 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 crème fraîche in tablespoons?
- 0.25 cups of crème fraîche 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. Open the volume converter
- How much does a cup of crème fraîche weigh?
- 1 cup of crème fraîche in grams is 230 grams. The ratio is fixed, so 2 cups is 460 grams and half a cup is 115 grams. Weighing crème fraîche by the cup is the most common way to measure it for baking. See the full cup to grams chart for crème fraîche, or use the converter on this page for any other amount. 1 cup crème fraîche in grams

Related to Crème Fraîche
Sour Cream
Closest savoury swap. Sour cream is tangier and lower in fat (250 g vs 230 g per cup), so it can curdle if boiled hard. Stir into finished sauces and soups off the heat, or use it cold in dips and dressings. See our Sour Cream converter.
Mascarpone
Best swap for desserts. Mascarpone is richer and sweeter with no tang (240 g vs 230 g per cup). Use it in tiramisu, cheesecakes, and dolloped on fruit; for savoury sauces it lacks crème fraîche's sharp bite. See our Mascarpone converter.
Greek Yoghurt
Lighter, tangier, lower-fat swap (260 g vs 230 g per cup). Good cold in dips and dressings, but it splits when boiled, so add it to hot dishes off the heat. A leaner choice than crème fraîche. See our Greek Yoghurt converter.
Cream Cheese
Cream cheese is a soft fresh cheese with the same weight as crème fraîche (230 g per cup each) but a denser, spreadable texture and a milder tang. Swap 1:1 by volume in cold dips and toppings; for cooked sauces, crème fraîche is the safer choice as cream cheese can turn grainy under heat. See our Cream Cheese converter.
Heavy Cream
Heavy cream is uncultured, so it lacks the tang of crème fraîche though both share a high fat content. They are close in weight (240 g vs 230 g per cup), so swap 1:1 in sauces and toppings; heavy cream is the one you can whip, while crème fraîche holds together better in cooked sauces. See our Heavy Cream converter.
Whipping Cream
Whipping cream is lighter than crème fraîche, with around 30 to 35% fat and no tang. They are close in weight (238 g vs 230 g per cup), so swap 1:1 in sauces and toppings; whipping cream is the one to reach for when a recipe asks for whipped cream. See our Whipping Cream converter.
