The difference that matters
Cream Cheese (Fresh) carries more fat (34% vs 4%), giving a richer, warmer mouthfeel but demanding you cut other fats to stay in range. Cream Cheese (Fresh) is denser in total solids (45% vs 12%), so it thickens body faster and needs less to hit the same dry-matter target.
