Kitchen Notes:

• You can experiment with the filling by using low-fat cream cheese and sugar substitutes like Splenda.
• If you find the original filling amount too much, you can halve it without compromising the deliciousness.
• Adjust the baking time if you reduce the filling; approximately 30-35 minutes should be sufficient.
