People will rave over this super-easy cheesecake appetizer. I've made this recipe several times at parties, and people were so surprised it was low fat. Make it a day ahead for convenience, adding salsa just before serving. —Sandy Burkett, Galena, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 2 packages (8 ounces each) reduced-fat cream cheese
  • 1-1/4 cups reduced-fat sour cream, divided
