Why do you want to melt Cream Cheese?

I usually beat cream cheese to soften its texture.

I haven't got a microwave :(
I need to do what valentino suggests and beat it into submission .

some recipes called for melted cream cheese. eg cotton soft style japanese cheesecakes where you melt the cream cheese with cream, butter, etc over a stove, fold whipped eggwhites into it and bake.
