This no-bake treat, which resembles a combination between cake and pudding, is called cherries in the snow. Delicious and simple! I used low-fat cream cheese and light whipped topping to make mine low-fat.

- Fold one third of the longer side of the dough over the center third of dough. Fold the final third over the center (like you would fold a letter). Tightly wrap folded dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, about 30 minutes. Repeat this process of rolling, folding and refrigerating 4 more times, turning the dough 90 degrees each time before rolling.

- If cutting the rough puff into other shapes, be sure to chill before cutting. It will retain its shape better when cutting.
- You can freeze the dough in a resealable bag for up to 3 months.
