Disturbance leading to cheers after receiving first of cream cheese (7)
I believe the answer is:
ricotta
'cheese' is the definition.
(ricotta is a kind of cheese)
'disturbance leading to cheers after receiving first of cream' is the wordplay.
'disturbance' becomes 'riot' (I've seen this before).
'leading to' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (some letters go before or lead others).
'cheers' becomes 'ta' (I've seen this in other clues**).
'after receiving' is an insertion indicator.
'first of' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'cream' is 'c'.
'riot'+'ta'='riotta'
'riotta' placed around 'c' is 'RICOTTA'.
(Other definitions for ricotta that I've seen before include "One soft cheese" , "cheese, Italian style" , "one brought on board?" , "Ital. cheese" , "may come from Italian press?" .)
