Light cream cheese
Yesterday when putting groceries away I found a 12-oz container of light cream cheese that the clerk must have accidentally put in my bag. I'm not a fan of light cream cheese - does anyone know of any recipes that use a good amount of cream cheese, but the cream cheese isn't necessarily the star? Or recipes that do particularly well with light cream cheese? Sweet or savory is fine!

- make black bottom cupcakes
- use on sandwiches instead of mayo
Example: Seven layer dip, which also has sour cream, cheddar and olives.

Or in cheesecake (sweet or savory) where the cream cheese is also dominated by other flavor ingredients.
