What Is Cream Cheese?

Cream cheese is a soft, fresh cheese made from milk and cream.
It is typically used in cooking and baking.
Non-dairy alternatives are also available.
It should be soft enough to be spread easily with a knife or stirred smoothly into other ingredients.
It only takes a few seconds.
Like other dairy products, cream cheese can harbor bacteria if it is not stored properly.
Don’t give in to the temptation of using whipped cream cheese for anything but frosting.
Once open, cream cheese will last up to 10 days refrigerated in an airtight container.
