Formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ 14.0 (approx.).

What Are Grams and Tablespoons?

A gram (g) measures mass; a tablespoon (tbsp) measures volume (~14.7868 mL). Density is required to convert between them.1

Density and Formula

With density ~0.95 g/mL, cream cheese weighs ~14.0 g per tablespoon. Packing can vary with softness.

tablespoons = grams ÷ 14.0

grams = tablespoons × 14.0

General formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ (14.7868 × density). Results are approximate.2

Note: Level the spoon; soften slightly for consistent measuring.
