Cream Cheese Powder

I bought this as an experiment to add to my morning pumpkin purée instead of having to leave out some regular cream cheese to soften. It worked wonderfully. 2 tablespoons of the powder took in lots of the moisture from the purée creating a wonderful creamy thick texture. This along with some spices makes a wonderful “lazy” pumpkin pie treat. Also worked well as a thickener for sauces in savory dishes. I took a gamble buying the 2lb option instead of the single pound but the difference in price was so negligible it would have been a waste in cost effectiveness if it worked out… which it did! I definitely recommend this cream cheese powder and will be using it on the daily. Mixes extremely well in everything I have tried so far and can be a huge time saver when it comes to softening cream cheese.

So when I make a carrot cake or a batch of cupcakes, I do like having a better icing than just powderd sugar. This powdered cream cheese with a bit of confectioner's sugar mixed in (and any flavoring drops I have on hand that would taste good) with filtered water - that is some really good icing! And the best part is that it is self-stable so I can use it over time and it will remain the same. Not a prepper, though I understand why survival types like this - no refrigeration, just need some water and you have a spread for fresh made bagels or like me, a delicious icing! I think this is my 3rd time buying it? It's so good!

I use this product in my coffee. 2 tsp. Takes the bite out of the coffee and for under a carb. I honestly like it as a coffee creamer. IF YOU JUST STARTED A LOW/NO CARB DIET.. this will not taste exactly like cream cheese. It's close enough for me though. Definitely adds cream cheese taste to my coffee.

I bought this powder because it's hard to use a block of chream cheese before it spoils. This is definitely not something to use on a bagel. It's quite fake tasting straight but if you put it in a recipe that calls for cream cheese, I think it will work perfectly. I used it for stuffed french bread french toast and it tasted ok. A block of cream cheese is without a doubt better tasting but this is passable

Hoosier Hill Farms makes all sorts of powdered dairy products. We have used most of them. Everything is less expensive if you get it from your grocer's dairy case. But not a lot less expensive if you don't catch a special. We started getting HHF stuff as emergency stock. A little dairy goes a long way when you simply can not buy any. What I found is that having cream cheese, or sour cream, or butter, or whatever on hand ALWAYS has saved me innumerable runs to a store. The alternative, making something...else... with the ingredients can work sometimes. Never finding that the other half of the sour cream or milk is unusable is a savings too. Realistically, in my house, with 3 people with bizarre schedules, the odds that that 8 oz block of cream cheese gets used up before it gets nasty are not that good. So if you have a plan and you know that you will use it up, get fresh. And if planning is challenging, but you still like to eat at home, have a supply of dairy on the shelf. You will use it in the years before it shows age. If you bake, or if you make up your own back-pack meals, you may use it surprisingly quickly.

I just used this in a creamy chicken spaghetti and it was delicious! It is hard to keep cream cheese in the fridge. This shelf stable powder is the next best thing. I have used the Mac Cheese often and decided to give this a try. So glad I did!

Does not taste like cream cheese, tastes like powdered milk. No matter what I mixed it into. It only has two ingredients, cream cheese and milk powder, but i only taste the milk powder. Seems most reviewers are split, and i hypothesize that it's people who know what powdered milk tastes like vs those who don't. If you go looking for one-ingredient powdered cream cheese it's going to be more expensive than just buying cream cheese, just so you know. Alas.

Good product

I had high hopes because of the reviews. But it tastes sooo artificial. Not even close to how cream cheese tastes like.

The delivery of the product was in excellent time. The product was better than expected, taste and consistency was great. I would recommend this to anyone lookin to add flavouring to their meals.

Arrived very quickly, looks as described. I have not tried the product yet.

I find it a little flat in the taste and texture departments.. I will use it in baking where the ingredients are cream cheese based but as a spread on its own, I don't prefer it to packaged cream cheese. It will be handy for camping though.

great flavor and easy to use
