These sound delicious!
Do you know what I could use if I couldn’t find the vegan cream cheese but wanted to keep it vegan?
Persephone, it would take some extra time but you could make cashew cream cheese http://figgyandsprout.com/cashew-cream-cheese/
im not sure how something like spoonfuls of soy yogurt would work, but maybe a vegan frosting in the middle instead? although it would be extra sweet :)
