I ordered 3 bricks of cream cheese and instead got 3 lb - so basically double.

What other dessert can I make now that I have 3 extra 8-oz of cream cheese - but I don't have any extra sour cream? I am not looking for another cheesecake.

TY.

You can use it for Tiramisu instead of Mascarpone.
Also as a filling for cannoli.

There's a shortage in cream cheese.
If it's mehadrin and you're in the tri state area you'll find people looking for it high and low.

Cheesecake brownies are delicious and easy. Is that too close to cheesecake? Cream cheese frosting on any sort of cake or cupcake (chocolate, red velvet, carrot, pumpkin...)

Truffles. Was my go-to milchig dessert a couple years ago.

I once made a pasta recipe that called for cream cheese. It was very creamy and delicious...
Would you want that recipe?

Carrot cake.
The FoodNetwork has a recipe for a red velvet roll cake, with cream cheese feeling. The cake part has soda that's been reduced. You can make your own buttermilk by adding lemon juice to milk, regular or pareve if you don't want to make a milchig cake.

Put a package of Oreos into a food processor. Add 4 oz cream cheese, and keep adding until the consistency looks good enough to be able to roll small balls. Roll into balls and put into freezer for 15 min. Dip into melted chocolate. Drizzle white chocolate over top to make it look fancy

Cheese pinwheels. Roll out pastry dough, spread cream cheese, sprinkle sugar and choc chips, roll up jelly roll style, slice and place on oiled pan, bake @350 for like 15 min. Sprinkle with powdered sugar. Yumm

You can make pie crust or rugelach dough with cream cheese.

Ice cream...
Just add different flavours (blueberries, strawberries, apricot, banana, raspberries), whatever you like (I don't like chocolate with cream cheese, only with cream) and make a three-layers icecream...

Chocolate cheese muffins, cheese danish using flaky or yeast dough.

Cream cheese rugelach. You put the cream cheese in the dough and get the flakiest, richest pastry you have ever tasted?

I was about to suggest this.

Mix the cream cheese with sugar and add mini chocolate chips, roll the flaky dough to any shape (I made wheels) and voila - a delicious milchig dessert without much patchke.

I can post the exact recipe if anyone's interested.

Cheese Braid. I have a recipe somewhere, it's delicious. You make a cheese filling (needs a bar of white chocolate) and roll out puff pastry and fill, braid the top.

It's heaven served warm.
