Cream: mL to Grams (g) Converter
Cream is heavier than water, so 1 mL does not simply equal 1 gram. This converter uses the real density of cream (about 1.01 g per mL) to turn any volume you enter into an accurate weight - and lets you switch to any of our other 85 ingredients without leaving the page.

Cream: mL to Grams and Grams to mL
If a recipe lists heavy cream in mL and your scale reads grams, the short answer is that 100 mL of heavy cream weighs about 101 g. Heavy cream is heavier than water, so the two numbers are never the same.
The Formula
mL to grams: Weight (g) = Volume (mL) × 1.01
Grams to mL: Volume (mL) = Weight (g) ÷ 1.01
Worked Examples
- 15 mL of heavy cream = 15.2 g
- 250 mL of heavy cream = 252.5 g
- 200 g of heavy cream = 198 mL
Common Kitchen Measures
- 1 teaspoon (4.93 mL) = 5 g
- 1 tablespoon (14.79 mL) = 14.9 g
- 1/4 cup (59.1 mL) = 59.7 g
- 1/2 cup (118.3 mL) = 119.5 g
- 1 cup (236.6 mL) = 239 g
Why Heavy Cream Weighs What It Does
Heavy cream is mostly water and milk fat. The fat keeps its density close to water, at about 1.01 g per mL. Lower fat creams such as half and half sit a little higher.
Measuring Tips
Never measure whipped cream by volume when you need a weight, because it is mostly air. Measure the liquid cream before you whip it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams is 100 mL of heavy cream?
About 101 g, using a density of 1.01 g per mL.
How many mL is 100 g of heavy cream?
About 99 mL.
Does whipping change the weight of cream?
No. Whipping adds air, so the volume grows but the weight stays the same. Always convert the liquid cream.

These figures are good kitchen estimates. Brand, temperature and how an ingredient is packed can shift the weight slightly, so use a scale when precision matters.
