Ingredients

  1. 1/3 cup whipped cream cheese
  2. 1/4 cup small-curd cottage cheese
  3. 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar, plus more for topping

Loved this…except, I thought I’d make it “healthy” by omitting the sugar from the cheese mixture and using fresh raspberries. Don’t get me wrong, it was tasty and fresh, but next time, no skimping on the sugar, and sweetened jam would make this a real treat, compared to my usual. Maybe I’ll even add whipped cream!

This can be made with several variation, and I’m going to try them all.

I made this because of the originality, but it turned out to be delicious! I used fresh strawberries, and my 4-year-old loved it.

Tasty! Easy to make and followed the recipe as it. It’s kinda like a super amped up cream cheese and jelly sandwich. I think this is a fun sandwich kids as well as adults will enjoy.

I love this recipe, it was easy and delicious. I did have lower the flame and cook it a little longer than directed to get the center hot.
