A day in the life of cream cheese: 9 recipes you simply need to try this week

Smooth and decadent; Creamy, multifaceted and extremely versatile; cream cheese is an absolute essential in every fridge.

Most productive days start with equally great breakfasts. For those with sweeter tastes, these gluten-free cream cheese pancakes are a must-try. 

Savoury breakfast options are just as delicious, proven by these yummy cheesy spinach zucchini muffins. It makes for the perfect LCHF on the go breakfast.

Did anyone mention snacks? As with most things in life, mid-morning snacks are so much better with cream cheese. These pecan pie cheesecake bars will brighten any mood and are great for lunchbox snacks.

Lunchtime calls for cupcakes – and no we don’t mean just any average cupcake, we mean lasagna cupcakes, of course! They’re perfect to prepare and cook in advance, which makes them great for any busy day. Heat and eat when famished or when the lasagna craving strikes.

Afternoon pick-me-ups have never been better. Fight the impending afternoon slump with cream cheese. Carrots are part of any five a day, right? Which brings me to this carrot cake roulade with cream cheese and caramel icing.

Less inclined to sugary treats? Go for these easy cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches instead.

All dinners can benefit from a little cream cheese love. Bacon-wrapped stuffed chicken with parmesan cream is great for the whole family to enjoy.

For a vegetarian dinner alternative, cream cheese makes these stuffed, baked sweet potatoes ever-so-delicious. Paired with a simple salad makes for a filling vegatarian meal.

If you haven’t had a healthy enough dose of cream cheese yet (who could ever?), there’s always this decadent no-bake butternut and caramel cheesecake to finish your day off. You’re welcome.
