Measurement Options
Choose from the following measurements to convert to
Related to Heavy Cream
Whipping Cream
Closest swap. Whipping cream is 30 to 35% fat to heavy cream's 36%+. Whipped peaks soften faster, so eat sooner; everything else works the same. See our Whipping Cream converter.
Coconut Cream
Vegan-friendly swap. Whips well when chilled overnight. Adds a coconut note, so best in tropical or chocolate desserts. See our Coconut Cream converter.
Crème Fraîche
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 crème fraîche in teaspoons.
Sour Cream
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 sour cream in teaspoons.
Milk
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 milk in teaspoons.
