Oh my word – these look and sound delicious. I need to give these a go!
I think these are my next project!
I don’t see the measurements for the cream cheese mixture. Am I missing something? lol
They are listed in the ingredients as ‘cheesecake layer’ 🙂
These are delicious and so easy to make. Like a lot of your recipes they are heavy on sugar but I just reduced it. I also used mascarpone in place of the cream cheese as I had none. They look and smell amazing
Thanks for the wonderful feedback Elly! Enjoy 🙂
