  • Question
    Will cream cheese thicken again if I have melted it in the microwave?
    Community Answer
    No, it will not thicken once it's melted or softened. It gets creamy because the main ingredient is milk.

  • Question
    I've already mixed the cream cheese and non dairy whipped topping, but the cream cheese is lumpy. What should I do?
    Community Answer
    Try cutting it up in cubes then put them in a Ziploc (resealable plastic) bag. Then press them with your hands instead of doing that, then mix it with a mixer.
