Metric cups and other cup sizes
The figures above use the US customary cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup is 250 ml, so a metric cup of cream cheese weighs about 240 grams. UK recipes that say "cup" usually mean a 250 ml metric cup, which is why weighing in grams is more reliable than measuring by volume.
Measuring cream cheese accurately
Soften cream cheese to room temperature before pressing it firmly into a dry measuring cup to eliminate hidden air pockets. Cold blocks are nearly impossible to measure accurately by volume. The easiest method is placing your bowl on a scale and weighing the exact grams required by your recipe.
