Food: Super Simple Cream Cheese Squares - ridiculously easy to make and oh so good!
Food: Super Simple Cream Cheese Squares - ridiculously easy to make and oh so good!

I found this recipe about ten years ago from a Kraft Food and Family Magazine for Cream Cheese Squares and our family loves it.  Like the title implies, they are super simple! Food: Super Simple Cream Cheese Squares - ridiculously easy to make and oh so good! from www.thirtyhandmadedays.com
I made it for a friend who lived in the Dominican Republic and he begged for the recipe because it reminded him of a dessert he often had there.

This recipe calls for Pillsbury crescent rolls instead of traditional fried pastry used in South American countries like Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Uruguay.  It’s usually made from leavened wheat dough and butter is added to it.  This is the kind of the cheater version.  It’s simple but ooooh sooo good.

I like to use a small Wilton spatula that I got years ago when I took a cake decorating class to spread the filling.  It works like a charm and I use it a lot for all different kinds of things.  Rarely for decorating cakes.

(Like Mickey!) I started 30days several years ago as my idea file. After 9 years and thousands of ideas, I realize I’ll never be able to check them all off my list.
