Understanding Cream Cheese Conversions
The Math Behind This Conversion
To convert 1 ounces of cream cheese to grams, multiply by 28.3495 (the number of grams per ounce). So 1oz × 28.3495 = 28.3g.
Measurement Tip
For room-temperature recipes, let cream cheese sit out for 15-20 minutes before measuring. Cold cream cheese is slightly denser than room-temperature cream cheese, which can affect very precise recipes. Our density of 1.01 g/ml is based on refrigerated cream cheese.
About Our Data
The density value of 1.01 g/ml for cream cheese is from the USDA FoodData Central database (ID: 170886). This measurement was taken with cream cheese firmly packed into the measuring cup.
