Kraft Kitchens Tips

Healthy Living

Save 60 calories and 7g of fat per serving by preparing dessert with PHILADELPHIA Neufchatel Cheese, and omitting the nuts.

How to Toast Nuts

Toasting nuts not only gives them a pleasing golden color but also intensifies their flavor and adds crunch. To easily toast nuts, spread them in a single layer in a shallow pan. Bake at 350°F for 8 to 10 min. or until lightly toasted, stirring occasionally.

How to Soften Cream Cheese

Place completely unwrapped package of cream cheese in microwaveable bowl. Microwave on HIGH 10 sec. or just until softened. Add 15 sec. for each additional package of cream cheese.

This was the worst tasting dessert I've ever made. I followed the directions to the tee....and was totally embarrassed at Thanksgiving when I served it!!! No one liked it. Although it looked pretty and smelled wonderful....it had an awful taste. I believe the orange flavoring was overpowering.

WE WILL BE TRYING IT AT THANKSGIVING BUT WE ARE GOING TO CUT THE FAT AND CALORIES BY USING SPLENDA FOR BAKING, LOW FAT CREAM CHEESE AND MARGIRINE. THIS RECIPE LOOKS VERY GOOD AND HOPEFULLY BUT CHANGING A FEW INGREDIENTS IT WILL BE SOMETHING WE CAN ENJOY FOR MORE THEN JUST THE HOLIDAYS.

I made this recipe without the nuts, and I made it with low fat cream cheese. My family liked it, but, I think there are too many calories in it, so I would only make it for special occasions.

I would love to try this recipe, however, the total fat grams per serving would prohibit that. As a dessert, 22 fat grams per serving is a lot of fat grams. Just beware of what you're taking in.

I made this for Thanksgiving and was a great accompaniment to my turkey. My inlaws loved it! Decadant like a cheescake but much tastier.
