In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, brown sugar, and yeast; stir well. Let sit until the yeast softens and develops a creamy foam, about 5 minutes. Grease a separate large bowl and set it aside.

Stir whipped cream cheese, almonds, milk, vegetable oil, honey, and salt into the yeast mixture. Pour into a blender and blend until creamy and smooth.

Turn the dough out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and springy, about 8 minutes. Place the dough in the greased bowl, turning once to coat the top. Cover the bowl with a towel and let it sit until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

Bake in the preheated oven until the center is done and the top is browned, 50 to 60 minutes. If it darkens too much, cover the bread with aluminum foil during baking.
