How Much Is 1.42 Cups of Cream Cheese in Ounces?
1.42 cups of cream cheese weighs 11.62 oz. This is based on cream cheese having a density of 232g per cup. Because cups measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1.42 cups.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1.42 cups of cream cheese
- 1 cup of cream cheese = 232g
- 1.42 × 232 = 329.44g
- Convert grams to ounces: 329.44 ÷ 28.3495 = 11.62 oz
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Cream cheese weighs 232g per cup. For small amounts, weighing on a scale is more reliable than spooning into a measuring cup.

Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
