Cheesecake is my favourite, except perhaps for carrot cake. This one looks delicious.

Jooree-You could make your own cream cheese http://vanielje.com/blog/2008/07/12/make-your-own-cream-cheese/

I can't wait to make this cheesecake! I think the unflavoured goat cheese idea might work well. If you use it, add a little more sugar and a touch more vanilla to counteract the tangy 'bite' of goat cheese. I'm lactose intolerant but comfortably enjoy goat cheese.

Kraft sells Neufchatel here as a lowfat alternative to cream cheese...and it's packaged exactly the same way (8 oz. bricks) so I would think it would work OK in France as well.

The culinarily adventurous might try unflavored goat cheese...?

Hi all -- Hope you've been cheesecaking. I know, RYNGSDL, you won't be doing cheesecake until you get the bacon-infused bourbon with maple syrup down...

Jooree, I know exactly what you're saying -- those Kiri squares are teensy. Kiri seems to be the substitute that's always given for American cream cheese in France. That, or neufchatel, which I've never tried. I've seen Kraft Philadelphia Brand Cream Cheese in some of the French markets, but it's soooooooooooooo expensive. I wish I had another alternative for you, but I really can't think of one. "Desolee."

Dorie, I LOVE cheesecake, but since I've been in France, the closest to cream cheese I could find is Kiri (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiri) and it only comes in little squares. Looking at your recipe, that would be a lot of little squares. Do you know what other cheese can be used?
