I'm not a big fan of cream cheese, but I still enjoyed these angel pillows. The dough was so light and fluffy, and the filling was still good. I would definitely make these again, but I would use a different filling.

These angel pillows were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They said they tasted like little clouds. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling if you don't like your desserts too sweet.
