Cups to grams / Whipping cream
How many cups is 250g of whipping cream?
250g of whipping cream (heavy whipping cream) is
1 cup + 1 tbsp
That's 1.05 US cups, 0.99 metric cups, or 17 level tablespoons.
Worked out from 1 US cup = 238g. Cups are rounded to the nearest kitchen fraction, with what's left over in level tablespoons. If you have scales, weighing is more accurate.
USDA measures American heavy whipping cream (about 36% fat), close to UK whipping cream. For double cream, see its own page.

Where these numbers come from
USDA FoodData Central, SR Legacy, food 01053: “Cream, fluid, heavy whipping”. USDA lists these household measures for it:
- 1 cup, whipped = 120g
- 1 cup, fluid (yields 2 cups whipped) = 238g
- 1 tbsp = 15g
- 1 fl oz = 29.8g
Fractions of a cup are the cup weight scaled down. 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.
