Double cream: cups to grams
1 cup of double cream weighs
222g
In a 250ml metric cup (Australia, NZ): 235g
Double cream is 40 to 50% fat, richer than American heavy cream. Fat is lighter than water, so a cup of double cream weighs less than a cup of milk.

Where these numbers come from
FAO/INFOODS Density Database version 1.0 (UN Food and Agriculture Organization), checked 2026-10-25. USDA doesn't measure this ingredient, so we use this source instead. It lists:
- Cream, double (about 40-50% fat): 0.94 g/ml, from McCance and Widdowson's The Composition of Foods, 6th summary edition
Cup and spoon weights are that density multiplied by the volume: a US cup holds 236.6ml and a US tablespoon 14.8ml. The teaspoon is a third of the tablespoon. Metric-cup figures assume a 250ml cup, and Australian tablespoons hold 20ml. Weights under 10g are rounded to 0.1g, everything else to the nearest gram. Full source list.
