I really liked the ease of making this dessert. I used chopped pecans as I didn't have Macadamias. Also used hot fudge topping which worked okay. We ate everyone. Yum.

I used the new Philadelphia chocolate indulgences cream cheese and instead of coffee I used almond extract and also used chocolate extract instead of vanilla and they came out amazing. Best recipe for little get togethers or parties.

This is a lovely recipe for guests and/or family. Could be Breakfast, Dessert, Treat for a Coffee or High Tea, even a Sleepover treat, or Brunch. This is a simple recipe, to celebrate with. Enjoy!

Made this with WW whipped cream cheese and sliced almonds that I ground up finely. I used the strong coffee and even added some to the glaze...AMAZING!
