Cream cheese and creamed cottage cheese.
Q: Hi, I was wondering what the difference is between
cream cheese and creamed cottage cheese? Can you use the creamed
cottage cheese for a cheesecake instead of cream cheese. Thanks.
A: The main difference between cream cheese and creamed
cottage cheese is the texture. Cream cheese is smooth and creamed
cottage cheese has curds. Creamed cottage cheese is simply cottage
cheese that has had 4 to 8 percent cream added to it, whereas
lowfat cottage cheese has 1 to 2 percent fat, and nonfat cottage
cheese has zero fat.
There are cheesecake recipes
that use cottage cheese such as German
Cheesecake, or even ricotta cheese (which is slightly grainy
but smoother textured than cottage cheese) such as Ricotta
Cheesecake with Fresh Fruit. However, for best results when
making a cheesecake, I would not recommend using cottage cheese
or ricotta cheese in place of the cream cheese..
