"EVERYONE seems to love this dessert, perhaps because it's not too sweet. A cousin gave me the recipe long time ago, much to the delight of my children, who always enjoyed it. It's light and delicious."

As the filling is very runny, I didn't think it would work but the result was a very light, tasty square that I would certainly make again. I did have to bake it for 1 hour, 18 minutes though. Excellent recipe for a light dessert for summer.

I've made these several times and my family always enjoys the results. Even my father who never cared for cheesecake liked these squares. This recipe is a definite keeper.
