How to use cream cheese?


#1

How do you use cream cheese? What do you dip in it or spread it on? I’m going to try and make some cream cheese as an experiment, and I realized I don’t know what to do with it.

I’m not looking to make cream cheese pancakes or other things like that, because I don’t want to heat it. Thanks :slight_smile:

Interesting.

Please would you share your recipe for cream cheese.

Oh and to answer your question I would use it to make a cheese sauce, or to fill rolls of ham or smoked salmon.

I use it to make my Keto Fat Bombs =)

Sure. I don’t think this is the same as say, Philadelphia cream cheese. It’s not cultured, but quite literally creamed cheese curds.

I’m going to take some farm fresh milk (I haven’t had success with forming curds with “regular” store milk), bring it up to room temperature and slowly add lemon juice/vinegar until it forms curds. Then I’ll strain the whey, process the curds until they’re smooth (might have to add some cream to get it going) and add salt.

I whisk it into soups and casseroles in place of cream, it makes it thicker and richer!

Very carefully because it plugs me up. :worried:

I use it for cream based sauces sometimes and over chicken in slow cooker to make Keto Chicken Crack recipes on Pinterest. I have also had it on celery sticks and even smeared on crispy bacon or a little on Salami rolled up :yum:

I use it to make a thick rich cheese sauce for veggies and eggs.

I ended up smearing it on turkey. It’s 3x better than the store bought stuff. I added a few tbsps of cream to it while blending, and it turned out like a thick whipped cream consistency. It’s perfect for spreading on stuff.

I like to eat my cream cheese straight!

I’ve added it to Parmesan “chips” but it’s hard to eat only a few. :grimacing:

I like adding little blobs to Scrambled Eggs when they’re almost finished, or in an Omelette. An old favorite was putting some in a food processor with smoked salmon trim scraps and a touch of dry dill weed, great in an omelette. Sometimes I roll up ham with some inside with a few pickled jalapeño slices.

I do use it for some things like Jalapeño and Bacon poppers too.
