Clair Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 For those who seek "the real thing", Philadelphia cream cheese has recently become available in France: http://www.philadelphia-france.fr/accueil/1For those who seek an alternative, try St Morêt (http://www.quiveutdufromage.com/marques/st-moret.html) or Lidl's own Crème Goldessa (blue packaging = plain; green packaging = herbs).

Chancer Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 St Moret or the LidlAldi equivalents when they stock them have always been fine for me I only use it when I make a cheesecake to take to a dinner or apero/dinatoire invite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Same with me Chancer, but this may be useful to someone who prefers a brand they are familiar with... [:)] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NormanH Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Can you get digestive biscuits to crumble up with melted butter to make a base for the cheesecake? (You can tell I am on hospital food [:)]) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Norman, I have made cheesecake bases with Ginger Snap, with Speculoos and with Sprits... all good! [:)]They sell McVities plain Digestives in supermarkets around my area... about €1.30 to €1.80 a pack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Bastogne or Speculoos as said, make an excellent base to any dessert. Super U does McVities in amongst its biscuit selection here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mac Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 If you are making a special occasion cheesecake then Amaretti biscuits make a great base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
