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?

      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.

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

          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!
