Cream cheese is dense and sticky, and it traps air when pressed into a cup. Most packs are sold by weight, which makes the gram figure more useful than the cup when a recipe says to use a certain number of ounces.

What a cup of cream cheese weighs, and why it can differ
USDA’s weight for “1 cup” is 232 g. Next to a cup of water, which holds about 236.6 g, that is 98% of the weight of a cup of water, so it weighs about the same as the same volume of water. The same cup works out at 0.98 g per millilitre.
USDA lists one cup measure for cream cheese (“1 cup”), so this page has no second figure to compare it with; if a recipe depends on the exact amount, weigh it.
USDA lists no teaspoon measure for this entry, so that weight is the cup weight divided by the US ratio (48 teaspoons to the cup).
