This dessert is delicious. But the only thing I have to complain about is the amount of sugar. Our nation is home to the most overweight people on the planet. People are trying to make differences in their lives and make themselves as healthy as can be, at least they should be. I have a friend who eats only unhealthy food it's disgusting. We were at a sleepover at another friend of mine's house and when her non offered us strawberries she said "no thanks." But then I was like "Rachel I love how your mom puts sugar on the strawberries it's so good!" and my other friend says: "oh then actually I will have some." She's the heaviest girl in our grade... school (unincluding teachers) It's gross. So all I'm saying is try to cut back on the sugar, maybe use a sugar substitute instead like Splenda. Overall it is very delicious.

This is a very light and flavorful dessert! I've made it several times. However, I highly recommend doubling up on the cream cheese filling. It doesn't seem like enough to spread over the dough.
