One cup, side by side
Is a cup of cream cheese the same as a block?
Effectively, yes. King Arthur's figure is the standard 8-ounce block, and 8 avoirdupois ounces is 226.8 g, rounded to 227 — which is also one cup. Cream cheese is sold in exactly that unit, so the packet and the measurement agree: a recipe asking for a cup is asking for one block.
