How Much Is 5 Grams of Whipped Cream in Tablespoons?
Converting 5 grams of whipped cream to tablespoons gives 1.33 tbsp. Divide by the density of whipped cream (60g per cup). Each ingredient fills a different volume at the same weight.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5 grams of whipped cream
- 1 cup of whipped cream = 60g
- 5g ÷ 60g/cup = 0.08 cups × 16 = 1.33 tablespoons
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 Tablespoon?
A tablespoon is roughly the volume of a large soup spoon. In precise terms, 1 US tablespoon equals 14.787 ml, which is very close to the 15 ml metric standard used in most of the world. Three teaspoons make one tablespoon.
