Cream Cheese Powder

Ok. So I've used this twice for my cream cheese frosting and here's how I think it's best used... This is a fantastic aid to your cream cheese frosting. If you use it with just butter and powdered sugar, there isn't much of a cream cheese flavour at all... trust me... I used one and a half cups of this with two sticks of butter and idk what that flavour was... but it wasn't cream cheese. If you're like me and live in a country where the cream cheese has a high water content (your cream cheese frosting becomes runny), then add this "powdered cream cheese" to your recipie. You'll have a more firm and more pipeable frosting! Yes there is a sort of texture or powdered feel to the frosting but it isn't as promenant as you may think... and yes I use a lot in my recipie. But my frosing sort of stays put... no fancy piping but smooth simplicity without the runny mess! My recipie? 8oz cream cheese 3/4 cup - 1 cup butter... I like 3/4 4 cups powdered sugar (yes you need all. Don't skimp. It helps with the "hold") 1 1/2 cups cream cheese powder 1 1/2 tsps. vanilla extract 1/2 tsp. lemon extract Beat the butter first till smooth. Beat in cream cheese well. Add the cream cheese powder (no need to sift as it's super fine and clump free). Beat for one minute. Add powdered sugar one cup at a time and extracts. Beat on high 2-3 mins. Tip: Make your frostings (this and all others) the day before and store in the fridge. The flavours marry so much better. Take out and bring to room temp before use. You may beat it for one minute again to re-fluff. Yes I am re-purchasing!

I add this to pancakes, baked goods, Mac n cheese, cheeses shredded potato casserole and more. I am loving all the powdered items these guys sell. It’s easy to use, just mix with water. I have lots of the powders they make. ‘Cause sometimes you just need a little bit and these are perfect for that. And it can sit on the shelf for practically forever.

Absolutely love this product! I made some to frost a small cake. I did add orange zest and juice with a touch of vanilla and a little sugar substitute. Because of extra liquid I had to add a bit more powder but not a big deal. One important thing to mention is, if you’re using room temperature ingredients your mixture might taste a little like mayonnaise instead of cream cheese. Chill it well! It will be perfect. I have been experimenting with this product a bit and I’m convinced it could work as a substitute for mayo to take camping or on picnics. Since it’s a powder we wouldn’t have to worry about spoilage.

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 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.

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.

It didn’t taste good at all. It was easy to use, but not worth my money to try and save a little at all. I would never buy again and mad I wasted my money on this.

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!

I bought one of these in September 2019 (along with one of the cheddar powder), and because I have been frugal with it, I am only now about to run out. I like it a lot, and was disappointed to see that it is not available anymore.

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

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

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.

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.
