Cream Cheese is a soft and mild fresh cheese with a high fat content. It has a very creamy texture and always remember : fresher the cheese better the flavor. But if you end with some left over cream cheese; you can cover and keep it in the fridge.
Its not a matured cheese; so you won’t be able to store it for more then a week. Try making another recipe with it or use it for breakfast. . Freezing the cream cheese is a big no no. There can be some drastic changes in the texture if kept in theĀ deep freezer. You will end up with some crumbly product of no use.
Keep the cream cheese at room temperature if you want to achieve a very smooth and creamy texture for any dessert. You can easily make yummy herb-ed cream cheese with the same recipe. Just cream it using an electric hand blender and add the flavor or herb.
