Crema batida, cobertura de crema, presurizada: ¿cuántos gramos en una taza?
Pressurized aerosol whipped cream is a mixture of cream and nitrous oxide (N₂O) propellant that dispenses as a light foam. Its measured density of 0.254 g/ml reflects the final dispensed state — mostly air. A full cup of dispensed whipped cream weighs approximately 60 g; a tablespoon weighs about 3.8 g. This is almost entirely irrelevant as a cooking measurement: whipped cream toppings are applied by visual estimation, not by weight. The foam collapses rapidly (within minutes at room temperature, faster in hot environments) and cannot be re-measured once dispensed. The value here is most useful for understanding caloric density — not for recipe calculations.

Preguntas frecuentes
- Why does aerosol whipped cream weigh so little per cup?
- The dispensed product is roughly 75–80% nitrous oxide gas by volume. Only about 20–25% of the cup is actual cream; the rest is incorporated gas bubbles. At 0.254 g/ml, a cup of dispensed whipped cream weighs about 60 g — roughly one-quarter the weight of liquid heavy cream.
- Should I measure whipped cream topping by weight or volume?
- Neither, in most practical contexts. Whipped cream toppings are applied by eye or by spray time, not by measured volume or weight. If a recipe specifies 'whipped cream' by cup or gram, it almost always means freshly whipped cream (from unwhipped heavy cream) rather than aerosol product. The aerosol version is a topping condiment, not a cooking ingredient measured by weight.
