0.66 pounds of whipped cream equals 4.99 cups. That's 299.37g, and Whipped cream has a density of 60g per cup. Because pounds measure weight and cups measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.66 pounds of whipped cream
- Convert pounds to grams: 0.66 × 453.59 = 299.37g
- 1 cup of whipped cream = 60g
- 299.37g ÷ 60g/cup = 4.99 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 Pound?
The abbreviation "lb" comes from the Latin word "libra." One pound equals exactly 453.59237 grams. For rough mental math, 1 pound is slightly less than half a kilogram.
What is a Cup?
There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.
