I cut cake this way, and thought it might work well with cream cheese. When cutting cake, I wipe the knife with a paper towel after each cut. My fruit knife is the same size as my measuring cup, so it is convenient.

You can use a knife if there is a container, such as a flat metal tray, that is large enough for the blade to submerge. Use water heated to 90ºC. Be careful not to burn yourself. Recipe by Wankichi no haha

Steps

1

Pour the hot water into a measuring cup and put the knife in it.
2

Shake the knife in the sink to drain, then cut the cream cheese.
3

Like this.
4

Put the knife into the measuring cup again, and shake lightly to drain. Even if a little cream cheese is stuck to the knife, it will come off and you'll have a clean cut. Repeat.
