Cream cheese

In addition to spreading cream cheese on your favorite bagel, you may use this dairy product as a substitute for Greek yogurt. Cold cream cheese has a significantly stiffer texture than soft Greek yogurt, which is obvious from the texture. If you intend to use cream cheese instead of Greek yogurt in your recipes, take the time to remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator. This step is essential for softening the cream cheese and making it simpler to work with.

Cream cheese has a complex flavor that makes it an excellent substitution for Greek yogurt in baked goods, sauces, and our favorite buffalo chicken dip. Instead of a cup of Greek yogurt, use a cup of whipped, room-temperature cream cheese in your dips. To make the cream cheese soft and malleable for your other dip components, use a high-speed stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment.
