Can you bake with Philadelphia Extra Protein Cream Cheese?

What is Philadelphia Extra Protein Cream Cheese?
Philadelphia Extra Protein Cream Cheese is a packaged, spreadable cream cheese made as a higher-protein take on the familiar soft cheese. It has a smooth, creamy texture and a gently tangy, mild flavour, so it spreads easily on toast, bagels or crackers.
It also works in sandwiches, or stirred with herbs as a quick dip. Across English-speaking kitchens, it can be served at breakfast or used for an easy snack; in Turkey, it fits naturally on bread at kahvaltı alongside vegetables and tea. It provides 15 g of protein per 100 g. Pair it with fresh vegetables for a simple, lighter plate.
