Block Cream Cheese Measuring FAQs

Why shouldn't you use tub cream cheese for baking cheesecakes? ▾

Tub cream cheese contains added water and air to make it spreadable straight from the fridge, which will cause baked cheesecakes to sink and weep.

How can you soften cream cheese quickly without melting it? ▾

Unwrap the block, place on a microwave-safe plate, and microwave at 50% power in 10-second intervals until pliable.
