Googled this out of curiosity and found this...

Cream cheese substitutes  Interesting info!

Check out the Key Lime Pie that was just posted in October Recipe Game!  Why wouldn't it work with lemon?

Hello @Zhills . I have never looked into cream cheese substitutes since I loves me some cream cheese but now you got me curious so I'll check it out. Is one of those substitutes tofu? Yeah, I'll bet it is, LOL!

Overall, just wanted to say that when it comes to the Lemon Icebox Pie recipe, I think there's some kind of chemical reaction going on between the lemon juice, the sweetened condensed milk and the cream cheese that makes the pie set up the way it does yet be deliciously creamy.

Though I haven't seen the Key lime pie recipe you mentioned, I suspect that lemons would work quite well as a substitute.

Take care.

I think you are right.   Just move on to another lemon pie recipe.   I don't like cottage cheese or ricotta either.  Don't get me started on tofu.   I suspect that any substitute would be something I don't like.

Thanks.   I hope all cream cheese lovers love your recipe.

do you like yogurt?

there is a very thick yogurt that you can find in middle eastern stores.

it is called labne....it is sour though so you may have to make some adjustments.

you could also look for kefir cheese.
