Single-conversion pages for heavy cream
Working with heavy cream
Heavy Cream sits in the liquids group, where a cup lands in the same range as water, but the material still compacts differently depending on how you fill the cup. Measure cream before whipping. Whipped cream doubles in volume with no change in weight.
If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single line, the Recipe to Metric converter matches every ingredient to its own density in one pass, and the Recipe Scaler resizes the batch first so you only convert once.
Also sold as: double cream, whipping cream. These names refer to the same product and use the same weight per cup.
