I'm not sure if you are saying you will be able to keep it  
refrigerated or not.

However, with you saying you want to use Cream Cheese, my  
recommendation if you have access to an electrical plug for a crock  
pot or if you can use one of those sterno type warming pans is:  
*Cheese Goo*. Also known as Digby's Savory Tosted Cheese. I have used  
this at both mundane and SCA pot lucks and it has always gone over  
well. If you have a small ice chest, you might even be able to put it  
in there with a minimal amount of ice and hide it at your desk.

See this file in the FOOD section of the Florilegium for various  
redactions and the original:

melted cheese.

I would think you would have the same problems though in keeping a  
cheesecake cold. But if you want a cheesecake you might look at the  
ones in this file also in the FOOD section. I doubt any of these are  
anything like the cheesecake you had in mind, though.
