Measuring Tip

Whipped cream is extremely light at only 60g per cup because it is mostly air. The weight depends heavily on how stiffly it is whipped.

Understanding the Units

What is a Gram?

Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.

What is a Tablespoon?

Tablespoon sizes differ by country. A US tablespoon is 14.787 ml, close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most countries. An Australian tablespoon is 20 ml, about 35% larger than US. An imperial tablespoon is 17.758 ml. If your recipe comes from Australia, the larger tablespoon size can make a real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

1 gram of whipped cream is approximately 0.27 tbsp, but this varies depending on how stiffly the cream is whipped. Lightly whipped cream is denser per cup than stiffly whipped. For precision, weigh whipped cream on a kitchen scale rather than relying on volume.

If you have a kitchen scale, weighing whipped cream gives you an exact starting point for this conversion. If you need to measure by volume instead, spoon it gently into the measuring spoon without pressing down or deflating - whipped cream density varies with how stiffly it is whipped.

Mostly. The grams to tablespoons conversion for whipped cream may vary slightly (typically within 3-5%) based on fat content and brand formulation.

The same weight of different ingredients fills different volumes because each ingredient has a different density. A gram of whipped cream fills a different number of tablespoons than a gram of a lighter or heavier ingredient. That is why this converter needs to know which ingredient you are measuring.
