Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n

    \n
  • Tillamook Cream Cheese is made with just milk, cream, and salt\u2014no artificial fillers or stabilizers.<\/li>\n
  • It has a thick texture, a tangy flavor, and a richness that can’t be beat.<\/li>\n
  • Tillamook’s cream cheese is a full dollar cheaper than Philadelphia.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    My love of cream cheese started young, but it wasn\u2019t the usual bagel schmear that did it. Instead, it was a crunchy, creamy afternoon snack introduced to me by a friend: crackers (preferably Stoned Wheat Thins) slathered thick with the stuff.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    Though I didn\u2019t have a brand preference for cream cheese back then, with age comes wisdom. While there\u2019s nothing wrong with most common brands, I\u2019ve since discovered one that trumps them all in flavor and price and there\u2019s no turning back.\n<\/p>\n

    My Favorite Cream Cheese <\/span> <\/h2>\n

    Tillamook<\/strong> is a relative newcomer to the cream cheese game\u2014their first cream cheese product debuted quietly back in early 2020\u2014and once I tried it, I was hooked.\n<\/p>\n

    This cream cheese is different from all other brands. It has no artificial fillers or stabilizers like guar, xanthan gum, carob bean gums, or modified food starch\u2014all of which are found in other cream cheeses. Instead, it\u2019s made with just milk, cream, and salt. Its thick texture and tangy flavor are noticeably superior to its competitors.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    Tillamook cream cheese was initially only sold in tubs, which is great for spreading but less ideal for use in frostings and baked goods. But in 2024, they introduced their cream cheese in brick form, and dare I say this new product seems even richer and creamier than the tub version, not to mention easier to use in the cooking.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

    Why I Love Tillamook Cream Cheese Bricks <\/span> <\/h2>\n

    While I didn\u2019t think it could get better than Tillamook\u2019s tub cream cheese, their new eight-ounce cream cheese bricks made it possible. That\u2019s because the bricks are made with extra cream, so it is even more luxurious. Plus, the convenient size is way more useful than the tubs when churning out cheesecake and cream cheese frosting.\n<\/p>\n

    The bonus? They are a full dollar cheaper than Philadelphia bricks at my local grocery store.\n<\/p>\n

    How I Use Tillamook Cream Cheese Bricks <\/span> <\/h2>\n

    The easy-to-use packaging means I\u2019ve been making quite a lot of cream cheese-centric recipes these days. Treats like carrot cake and plush cheesecake topped with strawberries feel especially fitting given spring\u2019s arrival, but I\u2019ve also used it to make ultra luscious mac and cheese for dinner when the weather still feels chilly. Here are a few of my favorite recipes to use the bricks in:\n<\/p>\n

    While this brick format is great for recipes, because it’s even creamier than the tub version I use it simply, too: spread on bagels and English muffins, folded into scrambled eggs, added to mashed potatoes, and even just tossed with pasta for an instant cream sauce.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
