Ice Cream: Grams to Cups
1 cup of ice cream = 132 grams
One US cup of ice cream weighs 132 grams. One 250 ml metric cup — the one used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and Canada — holds 139 grams. To convert any weight, divide the grams by the figure for your cup.
A cup of ice cream weighs about 132 g. USDA FoodData Central weighs a ½-cup serving of regular vanilla ice cream at 66 g, and chocolate and strawberry at the same 66 g. Premium ice cream is much heavier because less air is whipped into it: USDA's rich vanilla is 107 g per ½ cup. Light vanilla ice cream is 76 g per ½ cup. Scoop ice cream level into the cup without pressing it down.

How to measure ice cream accurately
The 132 g figure assumes the spooned-and-levelled method: spoon the ice cream into a dry measuring cup and sweep the top flat with a straight edge. Scooping the cup through the bag compacts it and gives a heavier cup.
- 1 US cup of ice cream = 132 g
- 1 metric cup (250 ml) of ice cream = 139 g
- ¾ cup = 99 g
- ½ cup = 66 g
- ⅓ cup = 44 g
- ¼ cup = 33 g
- 1 tablespoon = 8.3 g
