Is tis really only 3 oz cream cheese? Or are we talking 8 oz package? - 4/19/13
Reply from GEMLADYONE (4/19/13)
It's really 3 oz of reduced fat cream cheese, a little less than 1/2 of the 8 oz. package....it is just meant to seal the baked crust so that the berry juices don't make it soggy too fast. I changed the wording to clarify. Thanks for pointing it out. It was confusing!:)
