Sitting right on my kitchen island. Philadelphia cream cheese no bake in a tub. Ready to go. This stuff could wipe out cities with just a little effort. No drones needed. Altho’ we can get it faster that way. Warning: 26% sugar. W/O the crust and topping. Yeah. I got a whole thimbleful. ---

Your thread titles should indicate what the thread is about. The title you chose gives no indication about that. Please think it through when choosing a thread title: Will it tell potential readers what they will read about? If not, then the title needs to be more descriptive. ---

Here’s the thing. I’ve had bacon wrapped stuffed Anaheim peppers twice at a local joint. I’m kinda addicted. So my Mid-dau says she’s gonna try replicate the filling. She was going by the grocery, sez she’d pick up cheap cream cheese to practice with. Well…she comes home with this weaponized cream cheese pie no-bake stuff. To hear the chaos it caused in my kitchen was awesome. Many ideas floated by, “what can you NOT do with this stuff!” My, my, my!🫣 ---

I like the descriptions of the filling as sold. As the OP said, it does seem excessively sweet. I wonder if zesting some lemon peel and a little cinnamon could be good on it in my springboard pan. ---

I think I might make a homemade recipe with maybe a granulated monk fruit/allulose blend. I think I would add it to the Philadelphia tub and double the recipe, if half the town is coming over to my place. ---

My use of cream cheese is mainly on bagels, not familiar with the no bake blend of cc. But I did see a reel for it yesterday. For dessert take a store bought angelfoodncake chopped up and covered with canned red fruit then layer cool whip and this no bake cc and topped with fresh red fruit. Chill then dish out. Can I dish on Dave’s killer bread here, the sugar inside why? And I’m flat out not buying it anymore. Every loaf recently has a spongy texture even when toasted. I don’t like how the slices stick together in the bag and if I’m paying $6 plus for a loaf it should be double wrapped. Sugar in Greek yogurt too, I’m gonna start buying it plain and add honey or something. ---

I don’t like how the slices stick together in the bag and if I’m paying $6 plus for a loaf it should be double wrapped. The “good seed” version makes a great pb&j sandwich. There’s enough sugar in the filling that a mildly sweet bread goes well, and I like the added texture. I never bake cream cheese. And cream cheese isn’t usually sweet. Is this thread about a no bake cheesecake filling? ---

This stuff is made by the Philly people. Name exactly is “Philadelphia cream cheese No-bake pie”. Ready to eat. In a tub about the size of cool whip tub. It says 1 pound. Cream cheese is very versatile in sweets and desserts. I like how it puffs up when baked. Savory or sweet. The stuff in the tub is _New._ I believe. ---

That’s very different than cream cheese.

Why yes. I do know it’s very different. It’s barely cream cheese adjacent. (\*I didn’t put _cream cheese_ in the title, that was done by a moderator) ---

> [@Beckdawrek](#): > > Name exactly is “Philadelphia cream cheese No-bake pie”. Your OP said it’s “Philadelphia cream cheese no bake in a tub” while a later post by you said “Name exactly is ‘Philadelphia cream cheese No-bake pie.’” The larger point is why are you surprised that a prepared filling for a sweet pie is sweetened? ---

Don’t get lost in the weeds. I just wanted to warn folks. This stuff is the “most dangerous substance on earth”. Because, I believe it is. According to the family, I hear these words: “magical, light and creamy, easy to dip, the best thing I ever tasted, better than cream cheese icing. Best thing since sex.” So… ---

I was lost thinking they’d started to add sugar to cream cheese. 😆 Now that i understand it’s cheesecake filling, I’m found. Glad to know it’s delicious. I’ll probably avoid the danger by not buying it. ---

Sorry if I was unclear in my OP. (my title was seemingly clicky and stupid 🤪 ) My brain was a little sideways yesterday. Maybe this is why this stuff struck me as so _dangerous._ YMMV (Still wanna know who Dennis, Mac, Dee and Charlie are? I’m almost positive it is a rock band) ---
