它是什么？

Cream cheese is a creamy, spreadable cow’s milk cheese with a slightly tangy flavor. Besides its most famous uses as a spread for bagels and a cheesecake filling, it’s also used in cookie doughs, cake and brownie batters, frostings and fillings. It occasionally makes its way to the savory side of cooking, appearing in pastas, dips, soups, and sauces.

Kitchen math:

8 oz. = about 1 cup

How to choose:

对于几乎所有需要奶油奶酪的烘焙食品，请使用砖中的那种（我们喜欢普通的费城品牌奶油奶酪），而不是在浴缸里。配制了浴缸中的奶油奶酪，使其比砖块更散布。这对您的烤百吉饼很好，但是当您使用奶油干酪作为成分时，通常不好。

How to prep:

Most recipes call for cream cheese to be at room temperature before using.
