How well does this mixer handle cream cheese? I want to make cheesecakes.

I have never had this mixer not do well on any kind of mixing. The high speed can take on anything. My daughter has a large kitchen aid but this does as well on most all things.

I don't know the answer to your question, so like everyone else that doesn't know, I thought I should post this as a response.

I used it to make cheese cake and mixed quite 32 oz of cream cheese, adding it slowly. My shoulder ached the next day.

I haven't used it for cream cheese. Why don't you test a small batch. Whip it up plain. If it doesn't work well you can still spread the cream cheese on bagels.

I can't say anything positive at the moment. I'm dealing with a replacement and frankly, I'm not too happy that I have to cover $20 in shipping to get a defective $60 mixer replaced. The mixer died (doesn't come up to speed) after 18 months of very light use.

I haven't used it for cream cheese> It seems to have good power for everything I use it for.

I don't know about cheesecakes. But I have a 42 cup bowl that is totally full of banana bread batter and it works awesome.

I think it will do a great job - I have not made any cheesecake with it. It is much more rugged than my previous Cuisinart. Hope this helps!

I haven't used it with cream cheese, but everything i've mixed so far it did a great job on. I have mixed some really thick stuff and it works really well at keeping the speed you set it at.

According to my wife it handles frosting quite easily.....also handles heavy dough very well...it is a workhorse at 800 watts.

Yes, this handles cookie dough well. The Dough hook is the best attachment to use for cookie dough with this particular mixer.

Sure you can use cake mix! I actually use them for cheesecake.You can get very creative.

I finally did use this mixer to knead the dough and it worked very well. I used it for a two loaf recipe and was very pleased with it. I have not tried it yet for more then this but I know it would work well with the dry ingredients and may be fine with adding the liquids but might be too much for bigger then the normal two loaf recipes. For a hand mixer, this one is powerful and easy to handle and it is also easy to change the speed settings while in use.

Yes! I have used it for cream cheese and no overheating! This is a powerful little mixer! It always helps to have your cream cheese out of the fridge for a bit also.

I mostly use my mixer for pies, cake, and other desserts. The motor has multiple power settings to accommodate any baking need you may have.

from what I have learned it is probably not strong enough to make bread. So we never used the dough hooks. The beaters work just fine. Do not try a double though as you will be cleaning it off of the walls as the mixer able to mix it but the bowl is not large enough to hold more than one cake mixture.

I haven't used it for bread dough or stiff cookie dough. I would have to say, no, it wouldn't work well for those purposes. I've used mine for cheesecake and similar consistancies.

I don't think this food processor is a good fit for using it to mix cookie dough simply because it doesn't have the blades very close to the bottom of the container you are likely to have partially mixed cookie dough with flour & other small remnants left over on the bottom. I haven't tried using this machine for this particular activity but for chopping I have some not so fine pieces of food that sometimes needs a hands on approach to remedy the situation.Hope this helps :-)

I haven't tried that. I use my Cuisinart mixer shredder attachment for that. I wouldn't think the Breville would give you the result of nice shredded cheese. It is a blender afterall. And excellent for any and all blending.

No. Box cake mix would be a little too muck for this mixer. We use it for small servings (2 people) of puddings and whipped cream etc. For this it works great and we are really pleased with it.

I use a recipe that calls for 2 cream cheeses and 2 eggs and no sour cream or additional liquids and it makes roughly 12-15 mini cheesecakes depending on how thick the crust is. Hope that helps

No better or worse than any other mixer. It is the nature of the process. Have had a Kitchen Aid in the house for 30 years, great appliance. Accept the process, you have to break a few eggs when you bake a cake!

I have used the mixer on cookie dough w/great success so mashed potatoes will be a snap. great product!!

Yes, it's great for cookies, cakes, whipped cream, meringue, frosting and bread dough. It has two bowls. One you use the roller and scraper with and one you use regular beaters. I use the roller and scraper for everything except whipped cream, meringue and thin icings. I never use a mixer for mashed potatoes, a ricer or food mill is much better.

Yes! I used my hand mixer with no problem. I made a specialty cake, very thick and rich so the batter was almost like bread dough. Both the bowl and the mixer had a workout. Feel free to go for it the bowl will handle it~
