Strawberry Cheesecake

Look at the dessert menu at any restaurant. One of the most popular desserts is always Strawberry Cheesecake. Ask anybody! Every restaurant, pastry chef and Grandma claims to have the best strawberry cheesecake. Junior's Cheesecake, Lindy's, and The Cheesecake Factory all make outrageous cheesecakes and you can order them online and get a gourmet cheesecake delivery. Why not make your own? It's not as hard as it sounds. If you like this cheesecake, you'll love Chocolate Zebra Cheesecake and the White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake recipe. And, they're just in time for Easter!

Can you use this in the recipe, instead of regular full fat cream cheese? Would there be any problems in substituting?

Thanks!
