Frequently Asked Questions About Philadelphia Double Cream
What is Philadelphia Double Cream?
Philadelphia Double Cream is a soft, spreadable cream cheese with a richer, higher-fat character than standard versions. “Double Cream” describes the style of cream cheese; it is not a pourable cream for coffee or cooking.
How is Philadelphia Double Cream different from regular Philadelphia cream cheese?
Philadelphia Double Cream has a richer, creamier taste and a higher fat content than regular Philadelphia cream cheese. That makes it especially suited to recipes where a full, smooth texture matters, though it can also be spread on bread.
Can you use Philadelphia Double Cream in cheesecake?
Yes, Philadelphia Double Cream works well in cheesecake filling. It gives the filling a smooth, rich texture; let it soften slightly before mixing so it blends evenly and is less likely to leave lumps.
Can Philadelphia Double Cream replace double cream in a recipe?
No, Philadelphia Double Cream is cream cheese, not pourable double cream. It cannot be substituted directly in recipes that rely on liquid cream for whipping, pouring, or thinning a sauce; use a cream cheese recipe instead.
Can you make cream cheese frosting with Philadelphia Double Cream?
Yes, Philadelphia Double Cream can be used for cream cheese frosting. Beat it with softened butter and icing sugar until smooth, but avoid overmixing, which can make the frosting loose.
How long does Philadelphia Double Cream last after opening?
Keep Philadelphia Double Cream refrigerated and tightly covered after opening, and follow the package’s guidance for how soon to use it. Discard it if you notice mould, an unusual smell, or a changed appearance.
Can you freeze Philadelphia Double Cream?
Yes, but freezing can make Philadelphia Double Cream grainy or watery after thawing. It may still work in cooked dishes or baking, but the changed texture is noticeable when you spread it on bread.
Can Philadelphia Double Cream be used in pasta sauce?
Yes, Philadelphia Double Cream can make a creamy pasta sauce. Stir it in over low heat, thinning it with a little pasta water; boiling it hard can cause the cheese to separate.
What can I use instead of Philadelphia Double Cream?
Regular cream cheese is the closest substitute for Philadelphia Double Cream, though the result may be less rich. Mascarpone can work in desserts, but its milder taste and thicker texture will change the finished recipe.
Can you whip Philadelphia Double Cream like whipping cream?
No, Philadelphia Double Cream does not whip into the light, airy peaks you get from whipping cream. You can beat it to soften or aerate it for a frosting or filling, but it remains a cream-cheese mixture.

What is Philadelphia Double Cream?
Philadelphia Double Cream is a soft, spreadable cream cheese made richer with extra cream. It has a smooth, indulgent texture and a mild, gently tangy flavour, so it works as both a simple spread and a versatile ingredient.
It is commonly spread on toast, bagels or crackers, and can be stirred into dips, sauces and cheesecake mixtures. Its richness makes a small amount go a long way: it contains 34 g of fat per 100 g. For a lighter snack, spread it thinly and pair it with fresh vegetables or fruit; for a savoury option, add herbs or a little pepper.
