Use the tool below to convert mascarpone from Teaspoon to Cup.

Mascarpone is a rich Italian fresh cheese made by curdling cream with citric or tartaric acid, giving it a smooth, spoonable texture and a fat content of around 40%. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 240 grams or 8.47 ounces. It is the signature cheese in tiramisu and also turns up in buttercream frostings, cheesecakes, and pasta sauces.

Mascarpone is sold in 250 g tubs, but recipes often call for cups or tablespoons. Converting between the two stops you reaching for a second tub mid-recipe or wasting the end of one.

Cream cheese is firmer and tangier than mascarpone, with a fat content of around 33% to mascarpone's 40%. They are close in weight (230 g vs 240 g per cup), so swap 1:1 in cheesecakes and frostings; expect a slightly less rich, more tangy result with cream cheese. See our Cream Cheese converter.

Ricotta is grainier and far lower in fat than mascarpone (258 g vs 240 g per cup), with around 13% fat. Swap 1:1 by volume in fillings only when a grainier, lighter result is fine; smooth fillings need straining or blending first. See our Ricotta converter.

Crème fraîche is cultured cream with a tangy bite that mascarpone lacks. They are close in weight (230 g vs 240 g per cup), so swap 1:1 in sauces and toppings; mascarpone gives a sweeter, richer result and is the one to reach for in tiramisu or buttercream. See our Crème Fraîche converter.
