What is the recipe for cream cheese?

Answer 1

Cream cheese is an American invention that dates back to 1872. Aside from being the key ingredient in cheese cake, the smooth soft cheese is served with fruit, crackers, or on breads such as bagels.

Cream cheese is made from cow's milk and is considered an unripened cheese and by definition must contain at least 33 % milk fat. The cream cheese product is available in full fat, low-fat or light. A similar product is Neufachatel cheese which is lower in fat (about 23%). There is also a spreadable version which is simply whipped cream cheese which gives the product a light easy-to-spread texture.

Answer 4

Regular cream cheese is made with milk that is about 35% butterfat. In practical terms this works out to about 10 grams of fat in an ounce for regular cream cheese and only 7 grams in the light version. Reduced-fat cream cheese can be used in place of regular cream cheese in recipes. Because it has a higher moisture content the amount of liquids need to be reduced in some recipes, especially baking. 1 Tbsp. reduced fat cream cheese = 35 calories, 2.5g fat, 1.75g sat fat, 0g mono fat, 2g protein, 1g carbohydrates, 75mg sodium, 8mg cholesterol
