Notes

  • Instead of cream cheese you can use hungcurd and instead of cream can use condensed milk .
  • Instead of cream cheese you can use paneer too ( Indian Cottage Cheese ) .But in that case you have to blend it a bit to get that creamy texture .
  • Here gelatin acts as a setting agent. It helps to thicken our cream cheese. You can skip it if you don't want .
