Cheesecake with half-fat Curd Cheese

Hello,

We haven’t tested this with half-fat curd cheese. It will obviously be lighter in calories and I expect it will also be less firm but I think it will set ok.

Kind regards

Lindsey

Hello Ann,

I have seen curd cheese in Sainsbury’s as part of their polish range, but I expect that the supply of that will depend on your region. The full fat version is lower in fat than the fat rich version that we used to get form the deli counter.

You can use full fat cream cheese instead of curd cheese.

You can use fat-free fromage frais (which seems to be available just about everywhere) - I would substitute the fromage frais with 300ml of fat-free fromage frais combined with 50ml extra thick double cream or full-fat crème fraîche. And you, you could use thick 5% fat Greek yoghurt instead of fromage frais too.

Best wishes

Lindsey
