I am very new to baking and cooking. (I’ve lived most my life eating things that are microwaveable. I swear I got through college eating cereal, Kraft Mac & cheese, and fruit.)
So, I was a bit intimidated to try this recipe.
You are AWESOME!
I brought this dessert for a get together and it was such a hit. My friends thought I’d purchased this from Costco and just put it on a pretty plate. (I tend to do that a lot so I understand their skepticism, ha. I took photos of my baking process solely for that reason, ha. 😂🤷🏻♀️)
I just wanted to thank you for posting such a delicious dessert that baby bakers like me can pull off! Have a blessed day!

Way to go, I am proud of you for venturing out and trying something new. Hope you have the confidence to try some other. Hope your day is grand also!

May I know a good substitute for chocolate baking crumbs?
Tara Noland says
Why do you want a substitute and maybe I can help better?
Jean says
Because I cannot find that in the supermarket.
Tara Noland says
Oreo has a brand in the grocery stores or you can find chocolate wafers and crush them in a plastic bag or a food processor. Also here is a recipe but I have not tried making this http://allrecipes.com/recipe/240500/homemade-chocolate-cookie-crumbs/
Isla says
The recipe doesn’t state which size cream cheese to use. 4 oz or 8 oz?
Tara Noland says
Didn’t know you can get 4 oz., it is 8 oz. and I will make the change, thank you!
