There are many options for replacing Philadelphia cheese. The most successful option is to use Mascarpone. You can also try cooking soft cream cheese at home.

The composition of some dishes, for example, rolls and cheesecakes, includes soft cream cheese "Philadelphia". Unfortunately, it is not always easy to get it, but this is not a reason to refuse to prepare the desired dish. Let's talk about what to replace cheese "Philadelphia"   in the dishes.

To get started is to clarify one point. "Philadelphia" - this is just one of the brands of cream cheesejust the most famous. In Russia, this cream cheese is considered a premium product and is not sold everywhere, and even if it is commercially available, it is not cheap.

However, in addition to "Philadelphia" there are other brands of cream cheese (or, as it is called in America, "cream cheese"). So if in the list of ingredients Philadelphia cheese is indicated, most likely, it is just cream cheese that is meant. Therefore you can feel free to replace “Philadelphia” with other brands of cream cheese.

Just keep in mind that you need a real cream cheese - soft, sweet, with a delicate texture, without additives. The usual inexpensive soft melted cheeses such as "Friendship" and "Amber" are not very suitable for this purpose. It is possible that melted cheese will come down for making rolls (although it is unlikely that the taste will still be different), but you can't make a good cheesecake with it. Some housewives in rolls instead of cream cheese soft unsalted cheese or fetaki cheese.

For baking, you can replace the cheese "Philadelphia" high-quality curd cheese without a pronounced curd taste. Often used, for example, such cheeses as Almette, Viola, President, Creme Bonjour, Bukoe, etc. Keep only that there are no additives in the cheese. Often these cream cheeses mixed with curd in a ratio of 1: 1   (the result should be a homogeneous mass): they say the result is similar to the original “Philadelphia”.

Some housewives manage to replace the cheese "Philadelphia" a mixture of homemade cottage cheese with sour cream or heavy cream. Cottage cheese should be taken not coarse-grained, so that you can beat the mass until a homogeneous creamy consistency. Whip up cottage cheese, cream or sour cream portionwise to get the desired consistency. This Philadelphia substitute is used for baking, it is not suitable for rolls.

You can try to make cream cheese at home. It turns out, of course, not the original "Philadelphia", but very close to it.

To make cheese, take the following ingredients:

• 1 liter of pasteurized milk
• 500 ml kefir
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp Sahara
• citric acid on the tip of a knife

Pour the milk into the pan and put on the fire. Heat the milk, stirring constantly. Add sugar and salt just before boiling. When the milk boils, turn off the stove, immediately add the kefir and stir until the mass is curled. Flip the contents of the pan onto the gauze folded in several layers, suspend and allow the serum to drain. Beat the egg with a small amount of citric acid, add to the curd mass and beat until smooth.

More simple option - cream cheese. You need to take a thick and fat sour cream (such that the “spoon was”), pour it into a thick canvas bag or folded gauze in several layers and hang it overnight, substituting a container for draining the liquid. Consider that the volume of sour cream will be halved, so initially it should be taken twice as much as you need cream cheese.

As you see there are several options for what can be replaced by "Philadelphia". Naturally, a substitute can never be compared with the original, but if you do not have the opportunity to purchase a real “Philadelphia”, this is not a reason to refuse your favorite dishes.
