What it is
Cream cheese filling is a sweet, rich spread made primarily from cream cheese, sugar, and often other ingredients like eggs, flavorings, and stabilizers. It is a dairy product, with cream cheese itself being made from milk and cream.
Why it's used
Manufacturers use cream cheese filling to add a creamy texture, a tangy-sweet flavor, and richness to baked goods. It is commonly found in cakes, cupcakes, pastries, danishes, and as a topping or filling for cheesecakes.
Health notes
Cream cheese filling is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a source of fat and sugar, and regular consumption of high-fat, high-sugar foods can contribute to health concerns. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated the components of cream cheese filling, such as sugar and dairy, but do not set specific limits for the combined product.
Allergen info
Cream cheese filling is derived from milk, which is one of the FDA's major allergens. It does not typically contain gluten unless added ingredients like wheat flour are present.
