I don't know that there is a "best". I simply use it instead of full fat cream cheese. I use it on bagels, in salads, desserts, dips, whatever would call for cream cheese, even cheesecake.
I only use Neufchatel for everything that calls for cream cheese. Not because it has less fat (I love fat), but it is softer to begin with, much easier to mix smoothly.
Wow!I always thought the opposite.I will hafto try it again.All I know is the low fat cream cheese is not that great and I wont even do fat free no flavor.I also hate low fat and no fat mayonaise just no flavor there.It has a slightly more tart flavor the Philly, which I like.
Has anyone tried Neufchatel Cream Cheese?
