How much does a cup of cream cheese weigh?
A standard US cup of cream cheese weighs about 232 grams (8.18 ounces). That makes it about 1.9 times heavier than a cup of all-purpose flour, and heavier than a cup of granulated sugar (200 g). This is why a converter that uses the same factor for every ingredient will give wrong answers: cream cheese has its own density, and recipes depend on it.

Values are reference weights for level, unpacked measures unless the ingredient is normally packed. Brand, moisture, temperature and how firmly you fill the cup can shift the result by a few percent, so for precision baking weigh cream cheese on a kitchen scale and use the cup figure only as a guide. To understand why these numbers differ between ingredients, read our guide on why a cup of flour is not a cup of sugar, or see why weighing beats measuring cups.
