Cream Cheese Powder

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!

Good product

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.

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

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!

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 can’t get passed the after taste. My poor son was my taste tester and I honestly feel terrible for giving it to him. They do not do refunds either so Instead of cupcakes it’s just 23 dollars poorer and regrets.

Great! Instead of trying to use a bar up before it spoils, I have time to use as I see fit. Tastes great: put a tad bit in spaghetti sauce or beef stroganoff, really perks up the same ol’ recipe. And so easy to use!
