How to Replace Icing Sugar in a No-Bake Cheesecake
Are there any good substitutes for sugar in Cheesecakes? I am not interested in synthetic sugar like Aspartame. I want to use natural sugar substitute like honey. But if mix honey into the cheese (e.g: Philadelphia cheese), will it ruin the cheese cake. I don't mind getting the honey taste in the cake, but will I get the same consistency in the cheese compare to if I mix sugar into the cheese?
This is the recipe. I got it from www.recipify.com:
250 gr of digestive biscuit/biscotti
80 gr butter
80 gr Philadelphia cheese
5 table spoon of Nutella
4 tablespoon of icing sugar
400 gr of creme
Melt the butter in the sauce pan.
Crumble the biscuit, and pour the melted button onto it. Cool it in the fridge for half an hour.
Mix the Philadelphia cheese with the icing sugar. Once you have done that, mix the Nutella.
Whisk the creme. Combine it with Nutella and Philadelphia mixture.
Put everything onto the crumbed biscuit. Leave it in the fridge overnight.
Thanks

Can you make cheesecake with honey instead of sugar? Sure!
Is it as simple as just replacing it 1:1? Not quite, there's increased moisture, but check the top answer here.
You'll need to reduce any liquid you might be adding a bit. Without seeing your exact recipe, I can't give you an exact answer there.
Whoa. Whoa. Whoa....thats not cheesecake, thats no-bake 'cheesecake'. And that's not normal sugar, that's icing sugar.
No bake 'cheesecake' is much more forgiving about the ingredients - you'd not trying to set a custard like, you just want a thick, flavored, semi-firm pie filling. Add the honey, but leave off a touch of the creme, maybe 20-30 g overall? Icing sugar will actually thicken it a bit as its not only not a liquid, but its also got cornstarch in it. There's about 1/4 tsp of cornstarch in that much icing sugar, so I'd add that. If you're against cornstarch, I don't think it'd be the end of the world to leave it off.
I'd add the honey and then add 350 g of creme and see how the consistency is. You'll probably end up adding another 20g or so, but I'd wait and see.

What can I use instead of icing sugar for cheesecake?
Icing sugar: Also known as powdered sugar or confectioner's sugar. Icing sugar thickens and sweetens the cheesecake filling. You can use caster sugar but may find it leaves a slight graininess to the filling whereas icing sugar will dissolve completely.Can I use granulated sugar instead of icing sugar for cheesecake?
Cold cream cheese will provide a lumpy cheesecake. Granulated Sugar \u2013 I prefer superfine granulated sugar, but you can also use regular granulated sugar. Powdered Sugar \u2013 this is a must for situations that granulated sugar will leave the recipe grainy like in our sour cream cheesecake topping.Can I substitute caster sugar for icing sugar in cheesecake?
In a baked cheesecake the heat of the oven will help caster sugar to dissolve. So we would not recommend switching to caster sugar. If you have a clean coffee grinder then you could probably grind some caster sugar to the powdery texture of icing sugar and use that.No Bake Cheesecake

Answer 2
The best replacement of sugar is malt. For cakes, I prefer corn malt (or barley malt). We no longer use honey in cakes. With honey also, if you heat it up to more than 50 C it will loose some nutritional value (some say even 37 C).
