cream cheese
A type of cheese that, unlike other cheeses, does not need to ripen or only needs to ripen for a very short time and has a high water content. It is often used as a spread or for cooking and baking.
Ich esse morgens gerne ein Brötchen mit Frischkäse und Kräutern.
In the morning, I like to eat a bread roll with cream cheese and herbs.
The word 'Frischkäse' (cream cheese) is made up of the adjective 'frisch' (fresh) and the noun 'der Käse' (the cheese). So it literally describes a cheese that is fresh and does not need to ripen. The article 'der' comes from the head word 'Käse' (cheese).
Der Frischkäse im Kühlschrank ist fast leer.
The cream cheese in the fridge is almost gone.
Cream cheese is very versatile. It is used as a spread, as an ingredient for dips and sauces, or for baking, especially for 'Käsekuchen' (cheesecake).
Für den Käsekuchen brauchst du ein Päckchen Frischkäse.
For the cheesecake, you need a package of cream cheese.
Common combinations are 'Frischkäse mit Kräutern' (cream cheese with herbs) or 'Frischkäse Natur' (plain cream cheese, without additives). A typical verb in connection with spreads is 'schmieren' (to spread): 'Frischkäse aufs Brot schmieren' (to spread cream cheese on bread).
Zum Frühstück schmiere ich mir gerne Frischkäse aufs Brötchen.
For breakfast, I like to spread cream cheese on my bread roll.

In the meanings accepted here, Quark and Frischkäse do not mean the same thing: Quark is colloquially used for nonsense or a false, worthless statement, while Frischkäse is a food. Quark is appropriate for a claim, while Frischkäse refers to a spread for bread.
Für das Frühstück kaufe ich Frischkäse und frisches Brot.
I'm buying cream cheese and fresh bread for breakfast.
Was du über diese angebliche Regel erzählst, ist doch völliger Quark.
What you're saying about this supposed rule is complete nonsense.
