cream cheese
Cream cheese is a soft, usually mild-tasting fresh cheese made from milk and cream. Stabilizers such as carob bean gum and carrageenan are typically added in industrial production.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration defines cream cheese as containing at least 33% milk fat with a moisture content of not more than 55%, and a pH range of 4.4 to 4.9. Similarly, under Canadian Food and Drug Regulations cream cheese must contain at least 30% milk fat and a maximum of 55% moisture. In other countries, it is defined differently and may need a considerably higher fat content.Cream cheese is not naturally matured and is meant to be consumed fresh, so it differs from other soft cheeses such as Brie and Neufchâtel. It is more comparable in taste, texture, and production methods to Boursin and mascarpone.

Blue cheese and bitter leaves are the best of friends, sharing edgy characteristics and a faint metallic taste. Small sweet prawns and salty smoked bacon provide a lovely contrast. I used beautiful Castelfranco radicchio which looks as if its been splattered with crimson paint. But it is...
I make this dish often when I have company coming. It’s really delicious, and it’s a good way to “hide” a few veggies (I have a friend who hates zucchini but will eat it in this).
When I made this for the challenge, I was running behind schedule, and when my husband tried it, he immediately...
I do love fried foods, and one of my favorite things ever is arancini! Arancini Recipe (Italian Fried Risotto) | The Mediterranean Dish which is an Italian street food (fried risotto ball stuffed with mozzarella usually). I have made the regular arancini before using risotto (arborio rice)...
In the US, cream cheese stuffed French toast is a popular breakfast item at some restaurants. I do like it overall, but oftentimes I have found it too sweet, as they tend to use sugar-sweetened cream cheese for the filling. That, along with the syrup and sometimes sweet bread or sweetened egg...
I visited Holland, Michigan, last week for the annual Tulip Festival. Holland has a lot of residents from the homeland, and so there are quite a few excellent Dutch things...like tulips and gouda. The unseasonably warm temperatures caused the tulips to bloom a bit earlier than usual, though they...

This is a regular feature at my house and DH really loves them! We have always adored bagels in my house, and for years I would put cream cheese, smoked salmon, capers, and shallot (or red onion) on a toasted bagel, only to have the capers roll off or the diced shallots spill out on the plate...
Normally this is made with cream fraiche, but since it is difficult to get where I am, I used cream cheese (home made). I have also made it with thick yoghurt.
Ingredients:
Dough: in some form or shape, pizza base (or if you are real lazy, pita bread or tortilla). I used sourdough made with the...
So the cream cheese challenge. A bit of a problem when you're both dieting and watching your fat intake, particularly saturated fats.

I had previously...
