lower fat altenative to Mascarpone please?

[DelGirl]

I'm going to make my ever popular lime cheesecake for a party on Saturday. It is very calorific and was wondering what I could, if anything, substitute the mascarpone with.

Ingredients are

ginger biscuits
butter
mascarpone
icing sugar
lime juice
chocolate.

Or should I not bother, considering how high in calories the rest of it is

can someone give me the low fat alternative to the above ingredients

philadelphia lite?

Philly lite will do it BUT I always think, why mess with perfection, just have a smaller slice.

[DelGirl]

does it taste the same? Wouldn't I need to add more sugar?

thanks btw

Philadelphia Lite is rank. I'd say make the proper cheesecake.

you are right of course Carmenere, I should just not have it, though I will have to do a taste test. It will be hard to resist temptation though. It's a pimms and cake afternoon, i'm doomed!

Just give yourself a day off and enjoy it.

how many days can one have in a week though pmsl. I will stuff myself with fruit before I go and fizzy drink. It was worth a try, thanks all
