Cheesecake advice!

[CheekyRedhead]

Help. I've never made a cheesecake before and just realised I've not ordered enough mascarpone. Only got 250g instead of 500g. Been into the village and can't get any. Am I ok to substitute for soft cheese? Here's the recipe I was attempting..

Sorry dont know how to post links

Hmmm, not sure, mascarpone has a firmer texture, I'd probably try it anyway.
Sorry, that probably wasn't v helpful!

I've made it with Philadelphia before. It's fine.

Thanks guys. Can't face town so will give it a go!

I make mine with Philadelphia and whipped double cream. So long as it has a few hours in the fridge it'll be fine. And if it goes wrong just tell them it's deconstructed cheesecake.

Ooh ok I have double cream. Ta

i always make mine with soft cheese and put a little bit of icing sugar into the mix sets it

I always use a couple of tubs of cream cheese, any brand will do, and some cream.

I do this one which uses a mixture of both so think you'll be fine www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/9653/luscious-lemon-baked-cheesecake

You guys rock

Double cream whisked up with a tub of full fat cream cheese and some castor sugar. Add in some melted chocolate and some baileys.

Ginger biscuit base - crushed and mixed with butter. Push into base.

I topped with cake toppers and sprinkled dessicated coconut on top. Whole thing took about 30 mins.

It's in the fridge under armed guard from my lot!

It will be absolutely fine.

Looks great!
