Do you need to use double cream and full fat cream cheese in a cheesecake can I used reduced fat cream cheese and single cream instead

Answers:
Reduced fat and even fat free cream cheese products work just as well as their full fat counter parts when making cheese cake. I recommend following the same instructions for any cheese cake recipe but rather than making a crust,which usually is created with butter, try putting low-fat graham crackers on the bottom of a glass serving dish with the cheese cake filling layered on top and topped off with fruit. The same idea can be turned into a parfait dessert if individual desserts are desired.
