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.
