1 piece (medium) of Triangle Cream Cheese (18 g) has 47 calories. That works out to 260 calories per 100 g. It contains 0.7 g of carbs, 1.2 g of protein, 4.3 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its 0.1 µg of B12 covers 5% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 30 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Triangle cream cheese is a soft, smooth cheese sold in small, individually portioned wedges. Its mild, gently savoury flavour and spreadable texture make it easy to use straight from the pack. It is often spread on toast or bread at breakfast, paired with crackers as a snack, or tucked into a sandwich. The portioned format is handy for lunchboxes and for serving alongside fresh vegetables.
It is richer in fat than protein, so it brings creaminess and energy in a small serving rather than much protein. For a lighter meal, spread a thin layer and pair it with tomatoes, cucumber or other crisp vegetables; it also works well with herbs or a little pepper.

An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.

Triangle cream cheese is usually made from milk or cream, cheese cultures and salt, with some products also using emulsifying or thickening ingredients for a smooth texture. The exact recipe varies by brand, so the ingredient list is the best guide to a particular product.
Unwrap triangle cream cheese and spread it on bread, crackers or toast. It also works as a quick snack with sliced vegetables. Because each portion is individually wrapped, you can serve one piece without cutting or scooping from a larger block.
Yes, triangle cream cheese can replace regular cream cheese in spreads, sandwiches and some dips. It may be softer and have a saltier or tangier flavor, so taste the mixture before adding more salt. It is less reliable in recipes that need a firm, thick cream-cheese texture.
Triangle cream cheese softens into a creamy texture when heated, but it does not melt into long, stretchy strands like mozzarella. Stir it into a sauce over low heat; heating it quickly or at a high temperature can make the texture grainy or cause the fat to separate.
Yes, triangle cream cheese can be frozen, but thawing may make it crumbly or less spreadable. Thaw it in the refrigerator and use it in cooked dishes such as soups or sauces, where the texture change is less noticeable. Do not refreeze it after thawing.
Keep triangle cream cheese refrigerated and leave unopened portions in their individual wrappers. If you open a larger package, close it securely before returning it to the refrigerator. Use clean hands or utensils, and discard any portion with an unusual smell, appearance or texture.
Yes, triangle cream cheese can add a mild, creamy quality to sauces, soups and sandwich fillings. Break it into small pieces and stir it in over low heat until smooth. For baking recipes that depend on a firm block of cream cheese, another product may work better.
Not necessarily: triangle cream cheese describes a portion shape and style, while The Laughing Cow is a specific brand. Some triangle portions may be similar in texture, but recipes and flavor differ between brands, so they should not be assumed to be identical.
Triangle cream cheese is portioned and wrapped individually to make serving convenient and help keep unused pieces covered. Open only the portion you plan to eat, then return the remaining wrapped portions to the refrigerator rather than leaving the whole pack out.
Triangle cream cheese can be part of breakfast spread on toast or paired with vegetables, fruit or eggs. Its mild, creamy texture makes it convenient, but pairing it with more filling foods can make breakfast more satisfying than eating the cheese alone.
