Could I use cream cheese instead of mascapone ?

I used 3 lemons to make mine extra tangy! lovely cheesecake recipe and so simple to make! — i took the advice below on adding more biscuits for a thicker base. Perfect!

Very tasty! I made a "deconstructed" version of the recipe by layering everything in small glass pots - alternating the crumb base with lemon filling, whipped cream and blueberries.

Has anyone tried without any sugar at all, in base and in cream? I am sure I did this once but I cant remember except it was delicious by dinner guests.
