About Half cup of cream cheese
Half a cup of cream cheese is a rich, versatile dairy product made primarily from a blend of milk and cream. Originally popularized in American cuisine, cream cheese has its roots in European-style soft cheeses. It boasts a smooth, spreadable texture and mildly tangy flavor, making it an essential ingredient in both savory dishes like dips and bagel spreads, and sweet recipes like cheesecake. Nutritionally, cream cheese is high in fat, especially saturated fats, and provides a good source of calcium. However, it is relatively high in calories and low in protein compared to other dairy options. While it adds creaminess and flavor, moderation is key due to its fat and calorie content. Some varieties may be lower in fat or made with reduced-calorie ingredients. Cream cheese is gluten-free, making it a suitable choice for those with gluten sensitivities or celiac disease.
