Formula and Step-by-Step

tablespoons × 3.75g/tbsp ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 12 tablespoons of whipped cream
1 tablespoon of whipped cream = 3.75g
12 × 3.75 = 45g
Convert grams to ounces: 45 ÷ 28.3495 = 1.59 oz

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.
