Julie, i made the philly cheese a couple of weeks ago and it was really nice I found the quark and it was $4.99 each for 250g, so it wasn't any cheaper than buying it. It was really easy to make though.I'm going to the local spud shed today and ill see if they do it and if its any cheaper. Hope your cheesecake turns out and is yummy. Anything with mango goes down well in this household
