The final time I organized it, I considered I’d try to “de-calorie” it. I drained some nonfat yogurt in cheesecloth until eventually it thickened and substituted it for the cream cheese. It worked beautifully. My attendees couldn’t tell the variation. For audience who may possibly like to attempt it, this is the original recipe:
