How it works
Scale the base, then respect the fill line.
A 24 oz deluxe cup has about 1.5x the capacity of a 16 oz cup. This tool also lets you scale by max-fill milliliters, because the safe freeze line can matter more than the nominal cup size.

Convert a frozen dessert recipe between 16 oz and 24 oz cups.
Scale ingredient grams from a standard pint to a deluxe cup, reverse a deluxe recipe back down, or use your own fill-line volume when the recipe needs a custom container.

This calculator scales by the max-fill volumes you choose. The 16 oz to 24 oz capacity shortcut is 1.5x, but fill-line volumes can differ slightly by cup and recipe style.

Do not scale every mix-in blindly.
Cookies, cereal, candy, nut butter swirls, and chopped chocolate can change texture and calories fast. Convert the base first, then add mix-ins conservatively after the first spin.
Next step
Turn the math into a reusable recipe.
After converting, save the draft, check macros, and log texture notes so the next batch starts from what actually worked in your cup.
FAQ
Standard and deluxe pint conversion questions.
Should I always use 1.5x for 16 oz to 24 oz?
It is the best quick rule when the source recipe was designed for a standard cup and the target is a deluxe cup. Use the custom max-fill fields when your recipe already sits unusually high or low in the container.
Why does the selected recipe factor differ from 1.5x?
The result panel scales by the max-fill milliliters you choose. The page still shows the common 16 oz to 24 oz capacity shortcut, but fill-line values can be slightly different from nominal capacity.
Can I convert tablespoons and cups here?
The chart gives a quick volume scaling reference, but grams are safer for recipe ingredients. Protein powders, pudding mixes, cocoa, and gums vary too much by scoop or spoon to trust volume alone.
