Cream Cheese: Cups to Grams

Ounces here are ounces of weight (1 oz = 28.35 g), not fluid ounces. One US cup is 8 fluid ounces of volume whatever is in it, but what it weighs in ounces depends on the ingredient: a cup of cream cheese weighs about 8.18 oz. Why these two are not the same. Decimals for thirds are rounded (1/3 cup is 0.333 cups), and each linked amount opens a page comparing every ingredient at that measure.

About measuring cream cheese
Cream cheese is soft, spreadable and dense, so pressing it into a cup gives about 232 grams. Standard US blocks are eight ounces, which is roughly 227 grams and just under a cup, a useful thing to know when a recipe calls for cup measures but you are holding a block. Because it is sticky and holds air unless firmly packed, cream cheese is one of those ingredients where the scale wins every time, especially in cheesecakes where texture is unforgiving.
A standard US block of cream cheese is 8 oz, about 227 grams, just under one packed cup.
How many grams is a cup of cream cheese?
One US cup (240 ml) of cream cheese weighs about 232 grams. Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, that figure is specific to cream cheese and does not transfer to any other ingredient: the same cup holds 125 grams of all-purpose flour and 340 grams of honey.
- 1/4 cup of cream cheese is about 58 grams
- 1/3 cup of cream cheese is about 77 grams
- 1/2 cup of cream cheese is about 116 grams
- 2/3 cup of cream cheese is about 155 grams
- 3/4 cup of cream cheese is about 174 grams
- 1 1/2 cups of cream cheese is about 348 grams
- 2 cups of cream cheese is about 464 grams
- 3 cups of cream cheese is about 696 grams
Working the other way round, 100 grams of cream cheese is about 0.431 cups, and 500 grams is about 2.16 cups.
Does it matter which cup my recipe means?
It does, though less than the ingredient itself. This page uses the US legal cup of 240 ml. An Australian metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of cream cheese comes to about 242 grams, and the old British imperial cup of 284.1 ml holds about 275 grams. See cup sizes by country for every standard side by side.
Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1 cup of cream cheese?
One US cup of firmly packed cream cheese is about 232 grams. A standard eight ounce block is roughly 227 grams, just under a cup.
How many blocks make a cup of cream cheese?
Almost exactly one. A standard eight ounce (227 gram) block is just shy of a packed cup, so one block is a handy stand-in.
Why weigh cream cheese for cheesecake?
Cheesecake texture depends on the ratio of cheese to eggs and sugar. Because cream cheese packs unevenly, weighing to 232 grams per cup keeps the set reliable.
How many grams is 3/4 cup of cream cheese?
3/4 cup of cream cheese weighs 174 grams, or 6.14 ounces by weight.
How many grams is 1/4 cup of cream cheese?
1/4 cup of cream cheese weighs 58 grams, which is 4 tablespoons.
Where this figure comes from
We have not yet found a published reference that states a weight for a cup of cream cheese. The 232 grams on this page follows the calibration the rest of the site is built on, with butter at 227 grams per cup, water at 240, all-purpose flour at 125 and granulated sugar at 200. Treat it as a good working figure rather than a cited one. If you have a better source, tell us and we will check it and credit you.
Published figures for the same ingredient vary between references anyway, because how an ingredient is packed changes what a cup of it weighs. Treat any cup figure as accurate to within a few percent, and weigh on a scale when a recipe is sensitive. Our full approach is on the methodology page.
