Questions
How many grams is a cup of cream cheese?
A US cup (236.6 ml) of cream cheese weighs 232 g. A metric cup (250 ml) weighs about 245 g.
How many grams is a tablespoon of cream cheese?
A US tablespoon (14.8 ml) of cream cheese weighs 15 g and a 15 ml tablespoon about 15 g.
How many cups are in an 8 oz package of cream cheese?
Just under one cup: a cup weighs 232 g and an 8 oz brick slightly less. For cheesecake, weigh it instead of packing it into a cup.
Can I use low-fat cream cheese or Neufchâtel?
In frostings and dips, yes. In a baked cheesecake they hold more water, so the texture is softer and the top cracks more easily.
A US cup of plain cream cheese (Philadelphia type) weighs 232 g according to the USDA, and a US tablespoon 15 g. An 8 oz brick is therefore just under one cup.
Outside the US, look for full-fat cream cheese labeled as such. German Frischkäse and soft fresh cheeses in other countries are often softer and wetter, and quark or fromage blanc will not set a cheesecake the same way.
