Possibly but I just had Sainsbury’s to pick from, there was their own brand and the Philly was on offer, the website has a posh French one but not available in my local store.
@Saffronspokes the ingredient proportions look similar it’s just the caramelised sugar and having a domestic oven with 220° max that’s different.

Well I’m not supposed to cut it until it’s cooled properly but seeing as I’m hungry…
This is a 9-1/2 inch tin and you are supposed to use a 7inch plus the cream was in a 300ml pot and the cream cheese (3 packs of Philadelphia) so down 30ml cream and 40g of cream cheese so less volume.
I really like it as it’s light not fatty/sickly sweet, that kind of cheesecake makes me feel sick.
Some would want more sugar, 160g in recipe could easily take 200g but I’ll have this with something else like a few maraschino cherries, some raisins soaked in pedro-ximenez or walnut vodka mixed with mr black coffee liqueur.
Warmed up with some decent ice cream would work.
