a friend showed me how to make a much unhealthier version of this years ago. it was good! it used pillsbury sugar cookie dough (most of the unhealthy part) and canned fruits (some fresh). it also used a ton of sugar in the cream cheese. i found this recipe and i dont think i will be looking back. the lemon is mild but you can adjust to taste. i used neufchatel cream cheese to save on some calories.
