Go to a website like Food.com and put in the cream cheese as an ingredient. It'll return thousands of recipes (in the case of cream cheese ... 49,000+).
I use a stick of butter, about 1/4 cup milk, vanilla flavoring, small package of cream cheese and powdered sugar to make cream cheese icing for a carrot cake. I also stir in coconut before icing the cake so the coconut will stay moist. Some people like to add nuts to this, but I don't.
Once I had a lot of icing left and some coconut too. I put the coconut in the icing and made coconut balls. They were melt in you mouth good except the coconut had to be chewed a little. I think it would be really good to put a candy kiss inside the coconut ball. I haven't tried that yet though.
I have a recipe for the Most Wonderful Cheesecake! It's light and tasty and the crust is made right in the pan that it's baked in. If you are interested, I will dig it up. Just let me know here or by DM.

That looks so good, NCN! Is the cream cheese the tiny 4 oz package or are you speaking of the regular 8 oz package? (Small is relative!)

Cheesecake! Also, you can boil some summer squash (amt. varies depending on size of your family). When it's cooked, drop some cream cheese in the pot (again--amt. varies, depending on how much squash you have), and mash it all up, like mashed potatoes. Add a little salt for flavor. Very simple dish, but yummy.
Okey dokey! This was given to me decades ago and I don't know the original source:
FLUFFY CHERRY CHEESECAKE

Ingredients for filling
