Questions about Low fat soft white spreadable cheese
How can you stop low-fat soft white spreadable cheese splitting in a hot sauce?
Take the pan off the heat before stirring it in, and warm the sauce gently afterwards without letting it boil. A splash of milk can loosen it if the sauce becomes too thick.
Can you use low-fat soft white spreadable cheese in a cheesecake?
Yes, but its lower fat content can make the filling less rich and sometimes softer than one made with full-fat cream cheese. Use a recipe written for a lower-fat soft cheese, rather than swapping it into a recipe that relies on full-fat cheese to set.
What can you mix into low-fat soft white spreadable cheese for a quick dip?
Stir in chopped chives or spring onion, black pepper and a squeeze of lemon; add a little milk if you want a thinner dip. It also works with grated cucumber, garlic and mint for a tzatziki-style dip.
How should you store low-fat soft white spreadable cheese once opened?
Keep it covered in the fridge and use a clean knife or spoon each time. Follow the pack’s storage and use-by instructions, and discard it if it develops mould or an unusual smell.
Can you freeze low-fat soft white spreadable cheese?
You can, but freezing often makes it grainy or watery when thawed, so it may not spread smoothly afterwards. If you freeze it, thaw it in the fridge and use it in a cooked sauce or casserole rather than on toast.
What can you use instead of low-fat soft white spreadable cheese?
For a dip or sandwich filling, try thick plain yoghurt or cottage cheese blended until smooth; both taste tangier and may be less creamy. For a hot dish, choose a soft cheese with a similar texture and stir it in off the heat.
