  • A teaspoon here is the 5 ml standard, the same in the UK, Europe, and Australia. A US teaspoon is fractionally smaller at about 4.9 ml. When teaspoon size matters →

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.

Sour cream is thinner and lighter than crème fraîche, with lower fat and a similar tang. They are close in weight (250 g vs 230 g per cup), so swap 1:1 by volume in dips and dressings; for cooked sauces, crème fraîche holds together better under heat while sour cream can split. See what 1 cup of sour cream is in teaspoons.

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 what 1 cup of cream cheese is in teaspoons.

Greek yoghurt has a similar thick, spoonable texture to crème fraîche but much less fat and a sharper tang. They are close in weight (260 g vs 230 g per cup) and swap 1:1 in cold dips and dressings; for cooked sauces, crème fraîche is more stable under heat.

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 what 1 cup of heavy cream is in teaspoons.

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 what 1 cup of whipping cream is in teaspoons.

Mascarpone is a rich Italian cream cheese, denser and heavier than crème fraîche (240 g vs 230 g per cup) with a sweeter, milder flavour. Swap 1:1 by volume in desserts and creamy fillings; crème fraîche brings a sharper tang while mascarpone stays smooth and sweet. See what 1 cup of mascarpone is in teaspoons.
