Full Fat Cream cheese

Morning All,

I have a carrot cake recipe (yes, THAT one, Freya's Mum!) :D which for the topping requires full fat cream cheese.
Looked in Morrison's and they have only f/f soft cheese - i.e. Philadelphia and no f/f CREAM cheese.
Is this the correct cheese or should I be buying something else? :confused:
I don't want to mess up this cake due to a simple error.
Thanks for any help.
:heart: Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.

    Just a wee quick one... And, although I already posted on the other thread, I thought it would make a quick reference here, too.

    In a pinch you could use the half fat version, it would just mean that the icing would be a bit runnier than intended. But it would still be tasty :)

    Lx

    p.s. I think I'll be gutted if you don't like it, after my raving, lol.

    The truth is I have NEVER eaten any type of carrot cake before :o so I am not even sure if I will like it! :confused:
    As long as someone in the family does, then I'll be happy.
    Best make it when the boys are at school because if they see a carrot going in there is no chance of them even trying it! :rolleyes: :D
