How Much Is 5 Grams of Whipped Cream in Cups?
5 grams of whipped cream equals 0.08 cups. Whipped cream has a density of 60g per cup. Because grams measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5 grams of whipped cream
- 1 cup of whipped cream = 60g
- 5g ÷ 60g/cup = 0.08 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
If your recipe gives whipped cream in grams, weigh it directly. Volume measurements are unreliable because the amount of air varies every time.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Cup?
The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.
