One or two dairy products (5,6)

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

10

5,6

cream cheese

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'one' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'two dairy products' is the wordplay.
'two dairy products' means two replacements for 'dairy product'.
'dairy product' becomes 'cream' (cream is a kind of dairy product).
'dairy product' becomes 'cheese' (cheese is a kind of dairy product).
'cream'+'cheese'='CREAM-CHEESE'

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cream cheese that I've seen before include "Rich dairy product" , "White foodstuff" , "something for those crackers" , "Soft dairy product" , "Food" .)
