Thread: Help with cream cheese mold

Tweet

Jackielantern, that must be the one I used last year. I couldn't find it earlier when I posted and couldn't remember what all was in it, but I do remember the Knox gelatin.

I tried out a new recipe that is basiclly cream cheese, bleu cheese and walnuts (other stuff too hehe). Took pics to show the detail, but Hubby had gotten to it before I took the shots so its a bit mangled but you get the idea.


I didn't push the mixture into the mold as carefully as I would for a party since it was just a tester so it usually has a bit more detail

Rosella - freezing helps to get it out of the form huh? Good to know! I've never tried that. I've always taken it out of the fridge and dipped the mold bottom in hot water. The thing is I loose some of the detail with that method.

Yes, I was thinking that too....perhaps let the cream cheese soften at room Temp. mix a little warm milk with the gelatin then beat or mix into the cream cheese. Have not tried this, but I think it should work.

(BTW...ever try cream cheese on ginger snap cookies? If not you been missing out!)
