Why Cup Weights Vary in Dairy

Dairy ingredient density is governed by milkfat percentage, water retention, and culturing aeration. Whole milk (3.25% fat) has a density of 1.03 g/ml, weighing 245 grams per cup. Heavy whipping cream contains 36% milkfat; because fat is less dense than water, cream weighs 238 grams per liquid cup. Cultured dairy like Greek yogurt undergoes whey straining, producing a thick protein-dense structure at 245 grams per cup. Cream cheese contains high milkfat and lower moisture, settling at 225-230 grams per cup when softened. Whipping heavy cream incorporates air bubbles, expanding volume threefold and dropping whipped cream weight to ~120 grams per cup.
