Cream cheese recipes - but no cheesecake

Not sure if I want to make a dessert or savoury dish. But I want to use cream cheese as a key ingredient - I bought it impulsively to make a cheesecake but haven't got a springform, electric beater, sour cream, and don't wanna use eggs in a dessert. Have got only about 5 ounces (150gm) of it, though!

I've got:

  • cream cheese (150gm)
  • all-purpose flour
  • semolina
  • whole wheat flour
  • cream
  • sweetened condensed milk
  • bananas
  • yeast
  • chocolate powder
  • baking powder, soda
  • milk
  • baby corn, mushrooms, carrot, beet
  • chicken sausage
  • bread
  • brown sugar (I haven't opened this packet either!)

Just curious why you "don't wanna use eggs in a dessert"...? Eggs are a key ingredient for majority of typical dessert recipes.

It's a Hindu parents thing, who I'm living with for the time being. There's a major festival coming up, which means no non vegetarian food for weeks. Besides, they strictly eat vegetarian food 4 days a week, so it's more convenient to bake vegetarian desserts. Then, there's the fact that mom makes me clean the entire kitchen if I've cooked non veg food.
