Will you give me a recipe that requires Cream Cheese?

Answer 1

Add a block of cream cheese to your cake icing. Ok, that is lame and easy.

The hard recipie is to mix it with a whole grain product in a gourmet fusion. To do this, start with a tub of Philadelphia brand cream cheese, hand selected from the Safeway nearest you (any chain grocery store will do). Lovingly separate 2 tablespoon portions from the cream cheese loaf and let sit for 15 or 20 minutes (adjust time according to desired viscosity). Next use a chef's sabre and glaze over the whole grain item (the recipie for that is too complicated for a mere 10 points) in a swirling pattern. Set the implement down and eat the bagle with cream cheese. Toast the bagel first if you like 'em that way.

Answer 2

I love to make cream cheese brownies.
1/2 pkg of cream cheese
1 egg
1or 2 tablespoons of sugar
Mix this toghether, add 1/8 cup of white flour, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla. Spread your regular brownie batter into a pan, then spoon cheese mix onto brownie batter. Use a butter knife and cut the batter as if you were cutting the brownies. The brownies should have chocolate, and cream cheese swirls. Bake as the recipe originally calls for, (350* for 23mins.)

Answer 5

I feel like almost every single party dip I've heard of requires a block of cream cheese! The easiest one I've made:
Put a block of cream cheese in the bottom of a microwave-safe bowl. Add a can of pre-made chili on top. Add two sliced hot-dogs to the top of the chili. Sprinkle shredded cheddar chesse and chopped onions on top of the hot dogs. Microwave for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly: You've got chili dog dip!
Dip tortilla chips, toasted bread, or pretty much anything...

Take a can of refrigerated, bake yourself croissant rolls by Pillsbury. You know, the kind that when you peel the can, you have to hit it on the counter to pop it open.
Then, spread out the triangle of dough, place about a tablespoon of cream cheese in the center, then add either a glob of jam, or for a real treat, a 1 inch by 1 inch piece of Snickers candy bar.
Bake for time reccomended. Pig Out!
