Cream Cheese Calculator
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 Ã 14.0
General formula: tablespoons = grams ÷ (14.7868 Ã density). Results are approximate.2
Note: Level the spoon; soften slightly for consistent measuring.
