I made this for Photo Tag and loved the taste. I will make it again and pay more careful attention to the directions. I mixed the gelatin with water too soon and it cooled and started to set in a metal bowl, so I beat it into the cream cheese mixture with a mixer and it distributed fairly well, but I know if I had the cream cheese mixture all ready and then do the gelatin and just let it cool a bit, the consistency will be even better. You would never know this is reduced fat...Yum!

This was a wonderful low fat treat! The only reason it didn't get 5 stars is because of the gelatine problem. Dissolving the gelatin in 1 Tbsp. water only turns it into a lump and does not fold into the creamcheese mix at all. On advice from a friend I will next time try dissolving it in 1/4 cup water. Honestly though, this will be made again, we really did love it!
