750 Grams of Sour Cream to Cups

750 grams of sour cream = 3.13 cups (3⅛ cups / 50.0 tbsp / 150.0 tsp)

How the 750g Figure Is Calculated

Sour Cream is denser than water, which weighs about 236g per cup. That's why 750g of sour cream fills less volume (739ml) than the same weight of water would (752ml). For a side-by-side look at how other ingredients compare, see the 750 grams to cups page.

If Your Recipe Uses Metric or Imperial Cups

The 3.13 cup figure above uses the US Customary cup (236.588ml). Recipes written outside the US sometimes use a metric cup (250ml) or an imperial (uk) cup (284.131ml) instead. At 750g, that's 2⅞ metric cups or 2⅝ imperial cups of sour cream, close to the US figure but not identical. The cup standard switch in the converter above recalculates this instantly for any gram amount.

Scaling 750g Up or Down

Doubling a recipe that calls for 750g of sour cream means weighing 1,500g, or measuring 6.25 cups if you're working by volume instead of weight. Halving it means 375g, or 1.56 cups. Weight scales exactly with simple multiplication; cup measurements compound any scooping error each time they're doubled or halved, so weighing is more reliable the more a recipe is scaled.

Sour Cream vs. Other Dairy

Within dairy, density still varies by ingredient. At 750g, heavy cream (239g per cup) measures 3⅛ cups, while whole milk (244g per cup) measures 3⅛ cups, compared to 3⅛ cups for sour cream. Swapping ingredients in a recipe by cup measurement alone, without adjusting for this difference, changes the actual weight used.

Using Sour Cream in Recipes

• Recipes typically call for this ingredient in amounts ranging from a tablespoon to a full cup, depending on the dish.
• Check your specific recipe for the exact gram amount, then use the converter above to find the matching cup measurement.

How to Measure It Accurately

• Dairy

  Use a liquid measuring cup and read the line at eye level. Thicker dairy like sour cream should be leveled with a spatula.

• For exact results

  Cold dairy products can appear thicker than they'll behave once mixed into a batter at room temperature, so let refrigerated dairy sit out briefly before measuring if a recipe calls for room-temperature ingredients.
