I'm in Israel, so I make my own (shamenet with salt, in cloth overnight)
is that considered whipped?
thanx!

It isn't whipped unless you put it in a mixer and whip it. Whipped cream cheese has been mixed to add extra air into it.

Smile just use it at room temperature, it should be fine. If you have a wire whisk and the koach to give it a good beating it wouldn't hurt.

IMO quite a few, especially if you use the Eida ones which are lower in fat for some reason. We found it cheaper to just buy the Gad brand cream cheese.

If you are dripping shomenet, start with at least double what you want to end up with. Worst case, you might have some leftover.

I once calculated that the cream cheese you get from 2 shamenets (the full fat kind - 32%?) equals 1 cup or 8 oz.
