I did the strawberry variation and it was great. I didn't have granulated sugar so I used agave syrup. I used fat free cream cheese but you wouldn't know that this treat was fat free. Very delicious and could be used for a lot of things, including frosting/glaze. Definitely better than any store-bought flavored cream cheeses. Thanks for the recipe!
