These make a great dessert to take to a potluck or a picnic. It goes quickly! It is also good served with a raspberry sauce.
To make this even lighter, replace the light versions of the sour cream and cream cheese with fat free. You will have to add flour to the recipe when making this substitution. The general rule is 1 tablespoon for every 8 ounces. For this recipe, you would use 3 tablespoons.
