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 cup
100 g 0.42 cup
125 g ½ cup
200 g ⅚ cup
250 g 1.05 cups
500 g 2⅛ 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: USDA FoodData Central (FDC 170859, heavy whipping cream) lists 1 cup of fluid cream = 238 g. King Arthur's chart lists a flat 227 g for every liquid.

Every value we don't depart on is locked to the chart by a test, and each departure is pinned to the publication it names, so this list stays short and deliberate — you can read all of them on the methodology page.
