Mascarpone: US, metric & UK cups compared
A “cup” isn’t the same size everywhere, so 1 cup of mascarpone weighs a different number of grams depending on which cup your recipe uses. The US cup is 236.6 ml, while Australia, New Zealand, Canada and modern UK recipes use a 250 ml metric cup. Here’s 1 cup of mascarpone in each:
| Cup standard | Size | 1 cup mascarpone | Used in |
|---|---|---|---|
| US cup | 237 ml | 232 g | United States (most US recipe sites) |
| Metric cup | 250 ml | 245 g | Australia, NZ, Canada & modern UK |
| UK imperial cup | 284 ml | 279 g | Older British recipes |
| Japanese cup | 200 ml | 196 g | Japan |
Unless a recipe says otherwise, US recipes mean the US cup and Australian/UK recipes mean the 250 ml metric cup. The tables higher up this page use the US cup.

Quick reference: Mascarpone in grams
- ⅛ cup mascarpone = 29g
- ¼ cup mascarpone = 58g — a quarter cup of mascarpone in grams

- ½ cup mascarpone = 116g — half a cup of mascarpone in grams
- ⅔ cup mascarpone = 155g — two thirds of a cup

Mascarpone by the spoonful and by the ounce
Recipes rarely stop at cups. One tablespoon of mascarpone weighs about 14.5g, and one teaspoon about 4.83g, because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons or 48 teaspoons.
- 1 tablespoon mascarpone to grams = 14.5g
- 2 tablespoons mascarpone = 29g
- 3 tablespoons mascarpone = 43.5g
- 1 teaspoon mascarpone = 4.83g
Weight units do not depend on the ingredient, so 8 oz of mascarpone is 227g and 4 oz is 113g, the same as 8 oz of anything else. That 8 oz is 0.98 cups of mascarpone — the number that does change, because it depends on how much a cup of mascarpone weighs.
How many cups is 100g, 200g or 300g of mascarpone?
Because one cup of mascarpone weighs about 232 grams, you can convert any weight to cups by dividing by 232. So 100g of mascarpone is about 0.43 cups, 200g is about 0.86 cups, 250g is about 1.08 cups, and 300g is about 1.29 cups. For any other amount, type the grams straight into the converter above and switch it to show cups.
How to measure mascarpone accurately
For the most reliable baking results, weigh mascarpone on a kitchen scale rather than scooping by volume. One US cup of mascarpone weighs about 232 grams (8.18 oz), but the exact figure changes with how tightly it's packed and the brand. Scooping straight from the bag compacts mascarpone and can leave you 15 to 20% over, so spoon it into the cup and level it off for the closest match to the figures above. Use the tables for quick reference, or the converter for any custom amount in cups, grams, ounces or tablespoons.
Tip: Bring mascarpone close to room temperature and fold it in gently; beating it hard or cold can make it curdle and turn grainy.
