Do We Ever Really Care Who Lived In Our...
Home & Garden17 mins ago
I have 3 or 4 pounds (long story!) of light Philadelphia cream cheese.
What on earth can I do with it? I must use it soon or it will go off, and all I can find are complicated recipes for cheesecake that use just a couple of spoonsful + a lot of ingredients I don't have.
TIA

Cream cheese is really added as a 'filler' or carrier for other flavours so if you want to use it in a recipe it will only ever be in small amounts.
If you want to freeze it, blend in some extra cream as the cream cheese will become crumbly and the texture will spoil when it defrosts and won't spread - ok for a recipe ingredient though.
It will work without the extra cream but not very well, and its not recommended to keep it frozen for more than a couple of weeks either - so just spread it on everything you see and enjoy.....
glad you liked the pate idea...how about a cheat's cheescake...
1 tub philly
1 standard tub double cream whipped
1 pack lemon jelly (made to half strength) or any other flavour you desire...
digestives and melted butter for base
...make the base chill, while you mix all the other ingredients together, pour onto base chill until set...top with anything you fancy...
(you dont need sugar for this as the jelly is sweet enough)
