My favorite Muffin Tin Dessert

This halfway homemade dessert hack might be my favorite muffin tin recipe yet! You only need to place each crescent roll in a muffin tin. Add about two tablespoons of Philadelphia No Bake Cheesecake Filling (I had to go to 3 different stores & found mine @ Walmart) + 1 tablespoon of Lemon Curd. Bake @ 350 for 15 minutes, and you’re about to have a new favorite dessert!

    I have never heard of no bake cream cheese and you are actually baking it! Can you just use regular cream cheese?

    1. Melissa Johnson says:

      You can totally make your own creamcheese dip as well. There are lots of recipes online – though I have not tried it because I love the Philadelphia No Bake Cheesecake Dip. ;). It’s in the cream cheese section at most major retail stores. I found mine at Walmart.

    Hi. Did you use lemon curd or lemon meringue pie filling? Thanks.

    1. Melissa Johnson says:

      Lemon Pie Filling. So sorry about the voice over error in my video

      1. Linda says:

        In the recipe ingredient list you also state lemon curd not pie filling – which is it please??

        1. Melissa Johnson says:

          This recipe uses lemon curd, which is richer and smoother than lemon pie filling. Think of it like a buttery, velvety cousin to pie filling—more concentrated in flavor and made with eggs, sugar, lemon juice, and butter. Perfect for that bright, tangy kick!
