Hi Aunie! When you first mentioned Soya Kaas I was slightly confused, because I've never seen their cream cheese and I thought you meant their regular soy cheese! But I checked on their web site and you're right, they do make soy cream cheese. As for using it in Heather's dip, I'd say you'd definitely want to reduce the garlic in the recipe! Personally I might blend it together without any, then test it before nuking it and add more if it seems to need it. I'd check the label and see what other herbs are in the cheese and reduce those in the recipe also.

Another option is to make your own "cream cheese" using drained soy yogurt. Can you get that in your area? Heather has some info about draining it and using it in place of cream cheese here. Then you wouldn't have to worry about changing the spices. I'm sure it would work either way, though. Enjoy, and tell us how it goes!
