cream cheese

Cream cheese is a soft, usually mild-tasting fresh cheese made from milk and cream. Stabilizers such as carob bean gum and carrageenan are typically added in industrial production.The U.S. Food and Drug Administration defines cream cheese as containing at least 33% milk fat with a moisture content of not more than 55%, and a pH range of 4.4 to 4.9. Similarly, under Canadian Food and Drug Regulations cream cheese must contain at least 30% milk fat and a maximum of 55% moisture. In other countries, it is defined differently and may need a considerably higher fat content.Cream cheese is not naturally matured and is meant to be consumed fresh, so it differs from other soft cheeses such as Brie and Neufchâtel. It is more comparable in taste, texture, and production methods to Boursin and mascarpone.

    How do you make cream cheese (including vegan)?

    Recipe Stuffed Hot Peppers

    I made these with Fresno peppers, which are supposed to be 2,500–10,000 on the Scoville scale. Jalapenos are in the 2000-8000 range, so I expected these to turn out like stuffed jalapenos. And, so they do...except that these were painfully hot. I've never eaten a jalapeno popper where I needed...
