Hey,
Any tips on what to use instead of non-whipped cream cheese in Israel? We can make whipped cream cheese out of ‘shamenet’, but I think that comes out like whipped cream cheese…
It’s very difficult from what I hear, I did hear that some places are carrying American blocks of cream cheese. However, there doesn’t seem to be anything that’s an exact substitute. If you’re very adventurous you can try making it, it’s not very difficult 🙂
There is cream cheese similar to American cream cheese. It is called Napolian, made by Tnuva. It is 25%. There are other products like this. There is farmers cheese by Tara, that is 3% but it makes a great cheese cake (New York style). Yesterday, I saw Philadelphia cream cheese in the store Shuk Ha’ir in the Ramot Mall. If you live in Yerushalayim, you should also go to Sha’ari Revacha, they carry many things that might help. The Napolian is great though.
White Chocolate? When do you add the white Chocolate? It’s not in the instructions 🙁
Look at step #3 you add in there. 🙂
