Cream Cheese Recipe FAQs
Can you freeze cream cheese?
Yes, you can freeze cream cheese to extend its shelf life. In fact, it’s a great way of reducing your food waste. However, freezing can change the texture and consistency of cream cheese - once thawed, it may become crumbly and chunky. Reduced-fat and fat-free cream cheeses are better options for freezing.
Is cottage cheese the same as cream cheese?
No, cottage cheese and cream cheese are not the same. The main difference is that cottage cheese has a lumpier texture and consistency, and is lower in fat, compared to cream cheese which is much smoother and creamier, and higher in fat. Cottage cheese is mostly used in salads, lasagnes and in stuffed peppers, for example, whereas cream cheese is most often used in cheesecakes, icing for bakes, pasta sauces or spread on bagels, for instance.
How long does cream cheese keep?
Once opened, cream cheese can last up to two weeks, when stored in the fridge.
