It's super inconvenient when cream cheese is too cold and too solidified for your dessert. Luckily, you can quickly soften your cream cheese by using water.
To soften cold cream cheese quickly without a microwave, use warm water. Keep the cream cheese in its foil wrapper and submerge it in a bowl of hot water for 10 to 15 minutes.
You'll want to flip the cheese every few minutes, testing the softness of the cheese at the same time. Your cream cheese will be softened up and much easier to use in your recipe.
