Cream Cheese – tbsp to grams

Cream cheese is the nemesis of volumetric measurement. A cold block cubes awkwardly leaving air gaps, while whipped tub varieties have a completely different density. It is also sticky and wasteful to scrape out of a cup. Weighing directly into your mixing bowl is the cleanest, most accurate method.

FAQ

Block vs. Tub Cream Cheese: Does it matter?
Yes! Tub cream cheese is whipped with air to be spreadable and often has different stabilizers. For cheesecakes and frostings, always use the Block variety (weighed) for the correct structure.
