How many cups is 500 grams of heavy cream?
Answer
≈ 2 ⅛ cups
500 grams of heavy cream fills about 2 ⅛ cups (2.1 US cups, or about 33.6 tablespoons). The math uses USDA's figure of roughly 238 g per cup.
This is liquid cream before whipping. Whipped cream is mostly air and weighs about half as much per cup.

Measuring tip
Liquids are the easiest thing to measure by volume, so cups and a scale will agree closely. Dairy weighs a little more or less than water depending on its fat, sugar and air content. When a recipe gives grams, a scale is always the most accurate choice.
