How Much Is 3 Teaspoons of Whipped Cream in Ounces?
3 teaspoons of whipped cream weighs 0.13 oz. This is based on whipped cream having a density of 60g per cup. Because teaspoons measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 3 teaspoons.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 3 teaspoons of whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon of whipped cream = 1.25g
- 3 × 1.25 = 3.75g
- Convert grams to ounces: 3.75 ÷ 28.3495 = 0.13 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Spoon whipped cream gently into the measuring spoon without pressing or deflating it. Pressing down collapses the air and changes the weight.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
One teaspoon holds about 5 milliliters. There are 3 teaspoons in a tablespoon and 48 teaspoons in a cup. Teaspoon accuracy matters most with leaveners like baking powder and baking soda, where small differences affect rise and texture.
What is an Ounce?
An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.
