how long can you freeze cream cheese
Cheese â Hard or semi-hard cheeses can be frozen. Frozen cheese will be crumbly and a little dry and will not slice as well, but the flavor will be just as good as fresh cheese. Freeze cheese in small pieces â no more than Â½ pound per chunk. Seal it in foil, freezer wrap, plastic wrap or a zip lock. Cottage cheese â Cream style and dry cottage cheese and ricotta cheese can be frozen for a month. Cream style may separate when thawed. Cream cheese â Block-style can be frozen for later use in cooking, dips or as icing. Cheese food products, such as sauces, dips, or processed cheese usually freeze fine. If in real doubt, freeze a small quantity and check after 24 hours by thawing it. If pleased with the results, freeze the rest. Otherwise, do not freeze.
