Cream cheese is sort of the American version of a fresh spreadable cheese like Mascarpone or Boursin. If you like to make fresh cheeses, you can do this at home, but most of us Americans just buy Philadelphia Cream Cheese. I’m going to try these tea sandwiches, Manjula. They look so light and dainty.
