So here are a few tips you need to follow when freezing your cream
Our first tip is to Go Full Fat
You see, Full-fat cream cheese freezes way better than low-fat or fat-free versions. The higher fat content helps keep it creamy and smooth. So if you’re planning ahead, skip the light stuff.
Our second tip is to Freeze It Fresh
Don’t wait until it’s about to expire. The fresher your cream cheese is when you freeze it, the better it’ll taste later.
Our next tip is to use Vacuum Sealing
If you’ve got a vacuum sealer, now’s the time to use it! Removing air helps to protect the texture and flavor of your cream cheese, and prevents those annoying freezer burn crystals. Just seal it up tight, label it, and toss it in the freezer.
Now, if you don't have a vacuum sealer, we highly recommend getting our Quick Vac Cheese Saver, it vacuum seals your cheese with a few quick pumps without using any electricity.
This removes all of the air and seals in your cream cheese which helps it to freeze better or lasts much longer in the fridge. You can check the description to get it on Amazon.
Our fourth tip is if you are not vacuum sealing, then you need to tightly wrap your cream cheese before freezing
Now, if your cream cheese is in an unopened foil package all you need to do is pop it into a freezer bag and into the freezer. Now if your cream cheese is already opened then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, seal it in a freezer bag or airtight container, and then into the freezer
Our fifth tip is to Portion It Out
If you Only use cream cheese in small amounts? Try freezing it in smaller chunks or even in ice cube trays. Super handy for baking or adding to sauces later.
Our final tip is you need to correctly Thaw your Cream Cheese, you need to:
1. Be Patient
Let it thaw slowly in the fridge overnight. This helps reduce texture changes.
2. Whip It Good
After thawing, it may look a little separated or lumpy. Just give it a good stir or even a quick whip with a hand mixer or fork. That’ll help bring back its creamy texture.
3. Add a Splash of Milk or Cream (Optional)
If it still feels too dry or grainy, a tiny bit of milk or cream while mixing can help smooth it out.
Now a Bonus Tip: is to avoid Refreezing your cream cheese
Once Your cream cheese is thawed, try to use it within a week and don’t refreeze it again. That’s when things start to go downhill texture-wise.
Now Thawed cream cheese is usually best in recipes where texture isn’t the star. Think of:
