Either are good. Philli a bit thicker, and cheaper if you buy the value soft cheese ( in same type of pack as philli) rather than the branded. Goo luck. Poppynov grocery challenge, £.227.69/300, 9/25 nsd: , 7 Cmo, 10 egm.

I use Philedelphia or supermarket brand equivelant. I make baked cheesecakes though so don't know if that helps with the firmness!0

I too use Philly or the supermarket equivelant and sometimes if I have some I will shove a dollop (techy term
) of cream into the mix as well

Thanks folks. I will try Philly or equivalent for the first attempt and see how it goes, lot of experimenting with this new found hobby.Smile and be happy, things can usually get worse!0

I use basics or value cream cheese (i.e. philly style) - it works for me

fate: got two large packets of philli just gone out of date to use up. Can anyone point me to a fool-proof (pref baked) cheesecake recipe?:AA/give up smoking (done)0

This is the one I usually do (swapped the raspberries for blueberries once for a change and it still worked fine)

Ald* cream cheese really good value and is lovely and creamy. They also do a light version. About 56p I think. It makes lovely cheesecake.Original mortgage £112,000 . Final payment due August 2027.

I made my first ever cheesecake this weekend and it was absolutely delicious, even if I do say so myself!
I used a Mary Berry recipe from here. I used sainsburys basics soft cheese at 83p for 300g and basics white chocolate at 30p for 100g.
I topped it with a caramel sauce into which I added a twist of salt to make into salted caramel.
Served with some double cream, it is heaven!0 -
I would just add that, in my experience (and it probably depends on the specific recipe you use), the full fat soft cheese works better than the low-fat, 'lite' variety.No longer a spouse, or trailing, but MSE won't allow me to change my username...0
