I have been making this dish for some time now and it is definitely one of my go-to recipes. I used to carry a copy of the recipe with me whenever I took the dish somewhere because someone always wants the recipe. Now I can write it down from memory. The only differences in my recipe is I add an egg to the cream cheese mixture, it seems to make it fluffier. And I add about 1 cup of chopped pecans to the sugar and cinnamon mixture. This just takes it over the top.

This is "OUT OF THIS WORLD". The first time I had this was at work and I thought that it had to be from a fine bakery. A man I work with told me he had made it. After I got the recipe, I made it constantly. You just have to try this. It's rich, creamy, sweet and Oh, SO, GOOD! Your family and friends will think that you're a genius!!

<p>I was lucky to be born in Hawaii and I work as an ICU nurse in Honolulu. I love gardening and I have the sagging bookshelf full of books to prove it. I also love to bake, but I'm not really a good cook unless I have a recipe. I also have over 200 cookbooks and the cabinet is full!</p>
