Carolyn, you can make cheesecake with Bulgarian cream cheese instead - it's called СИРЕНЕ КРЕМА and the pack looks like butter. You can find it in every grocery store, even the small ones and it's usually on the same shelf where butter is. The package is silver in colour, just look for the sign "сирене крема" written on it. I always make cheesecake with it, it's cheaper than philadelphia cheese and it works perfect for this kind of cakes. Good luck!
