About Cream Cheese
For a cup measure, press spoonfuls gently together to remove gaps and level the top. A block's labelled weight is often easier to portion than cold cubes measured by volume.
Check whether a cheesecake recipe requires block cream cheese. Tub spreads can have a different composition; softening a block for mixing does not turn it into the same product as a whipped spread.
Tips for measuring Cream Cheese
- Use plain cream cheese when the recipe expects it.
- Soften only as needed for the recipe's mixing method.
Common mistakes
- Treating whipped cream cheese as equal by volume to an unwhipped block.
