Convert Cups to Grams: Cream Cheese
Convert cups of cream cheese to grams with this complete reference table. 1 cup of cream cheese = 225g (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method). Use the table below for fractions from 1/8 cup up to 4 cups. For precision baking, weight measurements in grams are always more reliable than volume measurements in cups, because cream cheese density can vary by measuring technique.

Based on USDA FoodData Central data (1 US cup = 240ml = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons). Note: Cream cheese must be softened to room temperature for accurate measuring. 1 cup = 225g = 8 oz standard block. Typically sold in 8oz blocks. Used in cheesecakes, frostings, dips.
About Cream Cheese Density
The density of cream cheese determines how much it weighs per unit of volume. At 0.938g/ml, 1 US cup (240ml) of cream cheese weighs 225g under USDA standard conditions.
Volume measurements can vary by ±10–20% depending on technique (sifted vs. spooned vs. scooped). For consistent baking results, use a kitchen scale with gram measurements whenever possible. The USDA standard (spooned-and-leveled) is the reference point for all values on this page.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many grams is 1 cup of cream cheese?
1 cup of cream cheese weighs 225 grams (USDA FoodData Central, spooned-and-leveled method, 1 US cup = 240ml).
