Heavy cream is dairy cream with a fat content of around 36% or more, sold as 'heavy cream' in the US, 'double cream' in the UK, and 'thickened cream' in Australia. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 240 grams or 8.47 ounces. It whips into stiff peaks, pours into coffee, and stirs into sauces, ganaches, and ice creams.

Cream cartons are sold by volume in millilitres or fluid ounces, but bakes and sauces often call for grams, cups, or tablespoons. Converting between the four lets you measure once, without guessing how much is left in the carton.

Also known as

  • double cream
  • heavy whipping cream
  • thickened cream

Whipping cream is lighter than heavy cream, with around 30 to 35% fat instead of 36% and above. They are close in weight (238 g vs 240 g per cup), so swap 1:1; heavy cream holds stiff peaks longer and is the safer choice for piped decorations. See what 1 ounce of whipping cream is in grams.

Crème fraîche is cultured cream with a tang that heavy cream lacks, though both share a high fat content. They are close in weight (230 g vs 240 g per cup), so swap 1:1 in sauces and toppings; heavy cream is the one to reach for when you need to whip. See what 1 ounce of crème fraîche is in grams.

Sour cream is cultured cream, thicker and tangier than heavy cream though similar in weight (250 g vs 240 g per cup). To swap in sauces, stir 1 teaspoon of lemon juice into 1 cup of heavy cream to mimic the tang; heavy cream alone gives a milder, sweeter result. See what 1 ounce of sour cream is in grams.

Heavy cream is far richer than milk, with around 36% fat compared to 3 to 4% in whole milk. They are close in weight (240 g vs 258 g per cup), but mixing 3/4 cup of milk with 1/4 cup of melted butter gives a closer stand-in for heavy cream in cooked sauces. See what 1 ounce of milk is in grams.

Coconut cream is plant-based with around 24% fat, while heavy cream is dairy fat at 36%. They are close in weight (245 g vs 240 g per cup); swap 1:1 by volume for vegan whipped cream or ganache, with the trade-off of a coconut flavour. See what 1 ounce of coconut cream is in grams.
