To find out if the two are interchangeable, we used both types (measured by weight) in our Foolproof New York Cheesecake (see related content) and in cream cheese frosting. Though some tasters found the frosting made with whipped cream cheese slightly less tangy than the one made with block cream cheese, all found it acceptable.
Does whipped cream cheese have less fat?

It’s high in vitamin A and has small riboflavin (vitamin B2). As a result, whipped cream cheese has less fat and calories per serving than regular cheese.
