I'm going to give it a try, but with one change. I've discovered that most cheesecake recipes benefit from changing the cream cheese to mascarpone cheese. It has a creamier, richer taste than cream cheese. Of course, when one is dieting, cream cheese is better, and reduced-fat or fat-free cream cheese is better still.
