Absolutely divine! I used fat free cream cheese, low fat cressent rolls and egg substitute for a great low fat version. Thanks for the recipe, the lemon juice adds a great kick. Creamy and delicious.

this was a great recipe. i actually used a different shape (i pinned the two opposing corners of a square together). the cheese filling stays nice and firm and i put blackberry jam on half and it was great! everyone loved them and i will make them again.

This is amazingly delicious and oh-so-easy to make. Even my SO who hates cream cheese loved this. I halved the recipe so as to avoid leftovers and it came out great. The sugar and egg white on top was the perfect touch!

This recipe is delicious! I used jumbo refridgerated biscuits instead of crescent rolls, and it still came out well. I'm adding this one to My Cookbook! Thanks!
