1 cup of cream cheese weighs 227 grams (8 oz). Most recipes call for cream cheese by weight — 4 oz, 8 oz — rather than cups, so the ounce table below is especially useful. Always use softened cream cheese for accurate cup measuring; cold cream cheese packs unevenly.

For the most accurate results, weigh your cream cheese with a digital kitchen scale — the values below assume a level, unpacked cup.

Practical baking & cooking tips for cream cheese

  • Use brick cream cheese for baking; tub spreads contain excess air and moisture that cause cheesecakes to crack and weep.
  • Warm cream cheese to room temperature (20°C / 68°F) for 45 minutes before beating to prevent lumps.
  • Beat on low to medium speed; incorporating excessive air bubbles causes cheesecakes to puff up and subsequently collapse.
