Explanation

Use 228 g per US cup as the reference when converting cream cheese from cups to grams.

Recipe scaling stays tied to the US cup standard (236.588 mL) rather than to mixed cup charts. Cream Cheese can vary slightly with thickness, air pockets, and how compactly it fills the cup, so the page keeps one explicit basis for consistent kitchen reference.

Method basis: cup-to-weight conversion anchored to the US customary cup (≈236.6 mL).
Applied formula: grams = cups × 228.
Consistency rule: snapshot, calculator, FAQ, and table use the same ingredient-specific basis.
