This fluffy dessert is so good after a hearty meal because even a big slice is as light as a feather. The cream cheese-pineapple combination makes it irresistible. -Gina Squires, Salem, Oregon

This tasted fine, and was indeed very light, but for me it was too labor- and equipment-intensive for the results I got. Probably won't make it again.
