How ½ cup of mascarpone works out
One US cup of mascarpone weighs 232 grams, so multiply by 0.5 to get half a cup: 232 × 0.5 = 116 g. In the other direction, 116 g of mascarpone divided by 232 brings you back to ½ cup.
If you have no scales, ½ cup is 8 level tablespoons of mascarpone (24 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 123 g.
Tip: Bring mascarpone close to room temperature and fold it in gently; beating it hard or cold can make it curdle and turn grainy.
