    Freezing Cheese, Eggs and Dairy Products

    Recipe






    Dairy products can be safely frozen. Their quality, however, may be
    affected depending on storage times.

    Freeze high quality butter six to nine months and margarine for 12
    months in original coated paper packages. Do not freeze whipped butter
    or margarine.

    Cream cheese, dry cottage cheese and farmer's cheese keep in the freezer

    three months. Frozen creamed cottage cheese breaks down and becomes
    mushy. Use it in cheesecake, freeze and then blend it in the blender.
    Cream will be crumbly after thawing. Use it in spreads and dips.

    To freeze hard cheese such as Cheddar, Colby, Edam, Gouda, Swiss or
    brick, cut and wrap in small pieces of less than one pound, or grate and
    freeze in freezer-weight bags or rigid freezer containers. Moisture may
    cause a mottled color. Before using, thaw it the refrigerator. Freeze
    processed cheese food products, in a loaf or in slices, up to four
    months. Blue cheese freezes for three months, but it becomes crumbly
    after thawing. Wrap it well to prevent odors.

    Freeze light and heavy cream, evaporated milk and half-and-half for up
    to two months. Heavy cream may not whip after thawing. Remove original
    wrappings or can and store in plastic freezer containers or glass jars.
    Leave one-inch headspace. Thaw in the refrigerator and use for cooking.

    Freeze whipped cream for one month in dollops or mounds. Freeze firm on
    a cookie sheet, then place in a freezer container. Make one layer, cover
    with waxed paper, and place second layer on top. Seal in airtight wrap
    and store in freezer. Place on top of dessert 10 minutes before serving.

    Freeze and store milk one month. Allow room for expansion in the freezer

    container. Thaw in the refrigerator. Freezing affects flavor and
    appearance, but milk, buttermilk, sour cream and yogurt are all right
    for baking.

    To successfully freeze eggs, break the eggs and add one tablespoon milk
    or water per egg and a dash of salt. Scramble well and pour into freezer
    container. Thaw in the refrigerator and use for scrambled eggs, French
    toast, pancakes or waffles.
