Looks like a recipe worth trying!
I tried & liked; the kids, not so much. Will have to make a 1/2 batch if I want it again.
Tried this again without the cream cheese topping so family could put what they want on it. They liked it much better this way.
They chose maple syrup. I still like it with the cream cheese topping. Yum!
Thanks, Cindy!
