1 Cup Cream cheese in Grams
1 cup of cream cheese weighs:
232 g
US cup (240 ml)
242 g
Metric / AU cup (250 ml)
American recipes mean the 240 ml cup; Australian, British and New Zealand recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. If the recipe does not say, the cuisine usually tells you — see the full cups to grams guide.
A cup of cream cheese is about 232 g. American recipes usually specify it in 8 oz blocks (227 g) rather than cups, so a cup is very close to one standard block — a useful shortcut for cheesecake.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams is 1 cup of cream cheese?
1 US cup of cream cheese is 232 g. In an Australian, UK or NZ metric cup (250 ml) it is 242 g. Weighing is more accurate than measuring by volume.
How many grams is half a cup of cream cheese?
Half a US cup of cream cheese is 116 g, and three-quarters of a cup is 174 g.
How many cups is an 8 oz block of cream cheese?
Just under one cup — 227 g against the 232 g a full cup holds. For any cheesecake or frosting, one block and one cup are interchangeable.
Should cream cheese be packed into the cup?
Yes, press it in to remove air pockets and level the top. Better still, weigh it — soft cheeses are awkward to measure by volume and easy to weigh.
