I came here just for a quick answer of can I use my frozen cream cheese block because I accidentally put it in the freezer instead of the refrigerator... imagine my surprise when I find out this is really an English class.
Quick answer- yes. But that isn't a sentence because it lacks a verb so I'll have to go into a brief historical discussion of traditional usages that supports the validity of that sort of incomplete (or desuetudinal) sentence structures among the peoples of North America...
Are the parentheses needed in your statement? You should also capitalized the U in Um as it is the beginning of the sentence. The hyphen between 'unfrozen and unfrozed' is not needed as a comma would do. You're welcome.
I just tested this! I had a huge block of cream cheese (from Costco - the HUGE one!) and realized I had no time to use it, so I sliced it into 4 ounce blocks, wrapped in plastic, and then froze the blocks in a zip bag.
Last week, I took out one of the blocks and let it defrost. It was a little weird, texturally, for spreading on toast, but I used it in rugelach dough and it worked perfectly.
I also defrosted the cream cheese for cheesecake, and I think it worked BETTER than unfrozed cream cheese. More experimentation is necessary, but the short answer to your question is - YES, you can freeze it.
Similar good experience with freezing cheesecakes.
Also, have frozen pasta dish which included cream cheese and it tastes as good frozen-and-reheated as in original making
