Measurement Options

Choose from the following measurements to convert to

Related to Cream Cheese

Mascarpone

Mascarpone is richer (around 40% fat to cream cheese's 33%) and sweeter, with no live cultures so the tang is gone. Close in weight (240 g vs 230 g per cup); expect a softer set in cheesecakes. See our Mascarpone converter.

Ricotta

Ricotta is grainier and lower in fat (258 g vs 230 g per cup). Drain or blend smooth for no-bake fillings; in baked cheesecakes it works straight in with a slightly drier, less tangy result. See our Ricotta converter.

Greek Yoghurt

Lean swap: tangier and far lower in fat than cream cheese, similar weight (260 g vs 230 g per cup). Strain through cheesecloth for an hour to mimic cream cheese's body; loses richness in frostings. See our Greek Yoghurt converter.

Plain Yoghurt

Plain yoghurt is much lighter and tangier than cream cheese (258 g vs 230 g per cup). Use it as a 1:1 swap in cheesecakes or frostings only when you want a looser, more pourable result; for piping or thick spreads, cream cheese holds its shape better. See plain yoghurt in cups.

Parmesan Cheese

Parmesan is a hard aged cheese that weighs just 100 g per metric cup when grated, far less than cream cheese at 230 g. It adds a sharp, salty bite rather than creaminess, so the two serve different purposes in baking and cooking. See parmesan cheese in cups.

Sour Cream

Sour cream is thinner and tangier than cream cheese, with similar fat content but live cultures that give a sharper bite. They are close in weight (250 g vs 230 g per cup), so swap 1:1 in cake batters or dips; for piped frostings, cream cheese holds its shape better. See sour cream in cups.

Crème Fraîche

Crème fraîche has the same weight per cup as cream cheese (230 g each) but a thinner, more pourable texture and a tangier flavour. Swap 1:1 in cold dips and toppings; for cooked sauces, crème fraîche is the safer choice as cream cheese can turn grainy under heat. See crème fraîche in cups.

Cottage Cheese

Cottage cheese is loose and curdy where cream cheese is dense and smooth (234 g vs 230 g per cup). Blending cottage cheese until smooth lets it stand in for cream cheese in dips and cheesecake batters, with a lighter, less tangy result. See cottage cheese in cups.

Goat's Cheese

Goat's cheese is lighter and tangier than cream cheese (150 g vs 230 g per cup). It works as a swap in tarts, salads, and savoury spreads when a stronger tang is welcome, but cream cheese is the better choice for frostings and cheesecakes. See our Goat's Cheese converter.
