Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 16.8 teaspoons of ricotta
- 1 teaspoon of ricotta = 5.13g
- 16.8 × 5.13 = 86.1g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Ricotta should be at room temperature for accurate volume measurement. Cold ricotta holds air pockets that change the weight.

Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
