Can cream cheese be frozen?

It depends. If you're baking with it, definitely. Just thaw it in the refrigerator before use. But if you're spreading it on something, I wouldn't because just changes the texture. If it's reaching the expiration date, definitely freeze it so you don't waste it.

You're not supposed to... But I do it anyway. I think the individual packs are the best for that. If your cream cheese is in the foil in a box it's not going to turn out so great. Although, I'd say it's a safer try than letting it rot in the fridge! Just buy lots of bagels so you use it up real fast.

Can cream cheese be frozen?

Cream cheese may be frozen in its original foil wrapping, however, it becomes somewhat grainy and separates. It is safe to eat, but the flavor may be changed since it is no longer creamy in texture. Thaw in original wrapping in the refrigerator.

um my mom bought some cream cheese when they were on sale and put them in the freezer. She gave me a few packages to use. I didn't have a problem after they defrosted.

It can, but the texture will change.

You only freeze cheese as a last resort.

I guess that's where your at, so freeze it.

When you defrost it, it's good to add a few drops of milk or water and whip it to a creamy consistency.

No, but look at the freshness date. It lasts 2 months or something.

Although it can be put in the freezer to extend the shelf life, you cannot keep it there forever... it might extend the life by a month or two
