Heavy cream, Cups to Grams & Grams to Cups
1 cup of heavy cream = 232 grams · 100g = 0.43 cups
Heavy cream (double cream) is rich in fat, and a cup of the liquid weighs about 232 grams. Its party trick is volume: whipped, one cup of cream roughly doubles to two cups of soft peaks, so recipes usually specify whether they mean the cream measured before or after whipping. Always measure it as a liquid, before whipping, unless told otherwise.

How to measure heavy cream accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh heavy cream on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of heavy cream weighs about 232 grams (8.18 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts heavy cream and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Chill the bowl and beaters before whipping cream — it whips faster and to a greater volume when everything is cold.
