That's very special recipe. I never had cream cheese + tuna in my sandwich. how does it taste like?
Indeed, i always looking for simple and delicious recipe to prepare. Tuna cream cheese is not something new, western countries have been mixing it with pasta and using it as spread. However, their version usually calls for tuna chunks in oil or water and the taste depends on extra ingredients added.
Thankfully we are blessed with this spicy chili tuna which packs a lot of flavor and spiciness. Without the need of other ingredients, cream cheese and chili tuna are the only things you need. The volume depends on how much cream cheese you add, if you use Emborg you can use 1/3 or 67g of a tub and the tuna spread still tastes great and creamy.
Speaking of taste, do not ever compare it with tuna mayonnaise. This cream cheese spicy tuna is on a completely different level. Thanks to the creamy texture of cream cheese, the consistency rather resembles smashed avocado and if you ever had cheese tea or cheese cake, then its taste is somewhere along the line, the spiciness kicks in during first bite and will heighten if you keep going. That's for sure.
I must say this recipe worth a try, if you like the idea of cream cheese perfectly married with spicy tuna. But i must emphasize only use cream cheese as its taste is difficult to substitute. I've tried with plain cooking yogurt and it was unpleasant, very watery and lumpy. Maybe i should have used greek yogurt which is more thick and creamy. But cream cheese will always turns out to be so perfectly, it's a failproof recipe anyway.
