Can You Freeze Cream Cheese?
4. Freezer Bags
Don’t place the foil-wrapped blocks of cream cheese directly into the freezer. Instead, you should first place them into a freezer bag or similar. Zip bags are ideal because closing them means that you can completely seal them shut until you need the cheese again. You need to be mindful that any moisture in the air can develop into tiny ice crystals during freezing, and this could cause damage to the cheese.
To prevent this, do your best to remove as much air from the bags as possible before sealing them. Storing the cheese in freezer bags will also help to prevent freezer burn.
