Grams to cups: heavy cream

Working the other way — a recipe in grams, and cups are what you have in the drawer:

Grams of heavy cream Cups (approx.)
50 g ¼ cups
100 g 0.43 cups
125 g ½ cups
200 g ⅞ cups
250 g 1.08 cups
500 g 2⅙ cups

Where this number comes from

Most of our weights are the King Arthur Baking chart figure, unchanged. This one is not, and it is worth saying why: Physical density: ~0.98 g/ml — fat is lighter than water, so cream lands just under it.

We would rather publish the number your scale will agree with and show our reasoning than quote a familiar chart that rounds the physics away. Every value we don't depart on is locked to the chart by a test, so this list stays short and deliberate — you can read all of them on the methodology page.
