Neufchatel cheese vs. Cream cheese

Hi Everyone!
Well, it's been awhile since you've heard from me and my apologies. Being gone to CA and then the incident with my knee has put me a bit behind.
I was looking at cream cheeses the other day in the grocery store however and made a new discovery that you may already know about, but I' m going to pass it along.
When growing up, my dad would make cheesecake for special occasions always using cream cheese. We tend to follow the same practices we learned while young so I usually used cream cheese also. This year however, I decided to give Neufchatel cheese a try (mostly because its lower in fat).
I really didn't realize it was that much lower in fat until I got it home and looked at the back of the box.
Regular cream cheese has 10g of fat per serving and neufchatel cheese has only 6g per serving? With 8 servings in one block of cheese and using more than one block for a cheesecake, those numbers really add up fast. The taste, I'm expecting to be the same, so maybe you too will make a change.
Have a great day!
