“This may not be considered a real "diet food" but the lite cream cheese does reduce the calories a bit. I have made this many times for company and noone has ever known it is a bit healthier for them. I think it is best served cold and really only keeps a day or so in the fridge. I think I got this from a Pillsbury cookbook.”
