I have some goat cheese and I want to make a cheese spread or cheese ball. Can I substitute the goat cheese for the cream cheese which is in the recipe?
Goat cheese makes a perfect substitute for cream cheese. There's about the same amount of saturated fat and calories in an ounce of goat cheese as there is in reduced-fat cream cheese.
Thanks for writing.
