Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5,712 grams of heavy cream
- 1 cup of heavy cream = 238g
- 5,712g ÷ 238g/cup = 24 cups ÷ 16 = 1.50 gallons
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

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 Gallon?
The US gallon (3,785 ml) and UK imperial gallon (4,546 ml) are very different. A UK gallon is about 20% larger. A gallon of milk in the US is 3.785 liters, while a UK gallon of milk would be 4.546 liters.
