Something you can make with cream cheese

Origin
Cream cheese is believed to have originated in the United States in the late 19th century. It was developed by William Lawrence, a dairyman from New York, who accidentally created a batch of cheese with a higher fat content than usual. This cheese had a smooth and creamy texture, which became the basis for cream cheese. Lawrence's creation quickly gained popularity and became a staple in American cuisine. Today, cream cheese is widely used in a variety of dishes and is enjoyed around the world.
