"Cream cheese is a handy staple, given that it can be used to rustle up a quick snack with crackers, be spread on a bagel for something more substantial, and used to make dips and spreads. It also has multiple uses in both sweet and savoury cooking."
"Typically made from a blend of milk and cream, the flavour is usually mild and the texture smooth and rich. As it's an unaged fresh cheese, cream cheese is ready to eat as soon as it's made."
"We try some of the best - and worst - versions on the market"
Cream cheese blends milk and cream to produce a mild-flavoured, smooth and rich fresh cheese. The cheese is unaged and therefore ready to eat immediately after production. The texture is spreadable, making it suitable for bagels, crackers, dips and spreads. Cream cheese serves both sweet and savoury culinary roles, from desserts and cheesecakes to savoury dips and sandwich fillings. Commercial varieties range in quality and flavor intensity, offering different fat contents and textures. The ingredient's versatility makes it a common kitchen staple for quick snacks and more substantial preparations. Home and professional cooks use it interchangeably across recipes.
