About
Heavy cream is a high-fat dairy liquid that weighs about 8.4 ounces (239 grams) per cup.
Heavy cream has a typical density of about 8.4 pounds per gallon (1.01 g/mL), which makes it barely heavier than fresh water. Because butterfat is lighter than water, heavy cream is actually slightly less dense than whole milk or skim milk. A standard quart takes up 32 fluid ounces (946 milliliters) of space and weighs roughly 2.1 pounds (955 grams). Unlike most other liquids, it can expand to roughly double its original volume when whipped with air.
From Wikipedia
Cream is a dairy product composed of the higher-fat layer skimmed from the top of milk before homogenization. The butterfat, which is less dense, rises to the top and is skimmed off, resulting in gravity cream.
