How to Cut Cream Cheese Neatly

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
