Explanation

This converter answers the practical heavy-cream question directly: 1 US cup of heavy cream is about 238 grams in this converter. It uses one fixed cup-to-gram basis so recipe scaling, prep, and reverse checks stay aligned.

That makes it useful for sauces, soups, desserts, baking, and dairy-heavy recipes where the starting point is cups but the target is grams. It also matches the real search intent behind queries like 1 cup heavy cream in grams and 1 cup of heavy cream in grams. Because heavy cream is a liquid dairy ingredient, this page should be read as a volume-to-weight conversion, not as a dry ingredient packing chart.

Heavy Cream uses a recorded reference of 238 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: medium. Source basis: density ~1.01 g/mL × 236.588 mL

Evidence status: reference-recorded. The source note is recorded; this does not certify every preparation or measurement condition. The result is a reference estimate. Match the named ingredient and recorded preparation; weigh the serving when actual mass is required.
