Ricotta is a soft Italian fresh cheese made from the whey left over from harder cheeses, giving it a light, grainy texture and a milky, slightly sweet flavour. One metric cup (250 ml) weighs around 258 grams or 9.1 ounces. It fills cannoli, lasagne, and stuffed pasta, and folds into cakes and pancakes for tenderness.
Ricotta is sold in 250 g or 500 g tubs, while recipes often call for cups or tablespoons. Weighing in grams gives a more honest measure than scooping the soft, uneven curds into a measuring cup.

- whole-milk ricotta
Cream cheese is denser, smoother, and tangier than ricotta (230 g vs 258 g per cup). Ricotta carries visible curds, so smooth no-bake fillings need straining or blending; in baked cheesecakes the two work as a 1:1 swap with a slightly drier, less tangy result from ricotta. See our Cream Cheese converter.
Mascarpone is much richer and smoother than ricotta (240 g vs 258 g per cup), with around 40% fat to ricotta's 13%. Swap 1:1 by volume in fillings only when a grainier, lower-fat result is acceptable; for tiramisu or buttercream, mascarpone is the better choice. See our Mascarpone converter.
Cottage cheese is wetter and curdier than ricotta (234 g vs 258 g per cup), with a tangier flavour. Swap 1:1 in lasagne or savoury bakes; for sweet fillings, drain or blend cottage cheese first to match ricotta's softer texture. See our Cottage Cheese converter.
No scale? No worries. The tool below gives a good estimate, but for exact bakes a digital kitchen scale is worth it.
