I haven't made it yet but it looks delicious! I added the colories for the mascarpone cheese so its actually 220 cal per serving. Which is still pretty low calorie for my favorite dessert.

This is so good! Easy, creamy, light and delicious. Can lighten by using fat-free cream cheese and, if desired, sub regular-fat cream cheese for mascarpone. I was searching to post and am glad to find it here already! Thanks, Shirl!
