The ratio and its uses
One US pint is two cups, or 473 mL. It is the standard unit for cream, berries and ice cream, and the reason American recipes talk about "a pint of blueberries" rather than a weight.
US versus imperial pints
- US pint: 473.176 mL, 16 fl oz
- Imperial pint: 568.261 mL — 20% larger
- British beer is an imperial pint; American ice cream is a US pint
- Australian recipes rarely use pints at all
Volume versus weight for berries
A pint of blueberries is roughly 340 g; a pint of raspberries about 300 g. If a recipe gives pints and you have a scale, weigh — the volumes vary with berry size.
Kitchen conversions
2 pints = 1 quart = 4 cups. 4 pints = 2 quarts = 1/2 gallon. A standard ice cream churn holds about 2 quarts, which is 4 pints of base.
