Notes

  • Cool the crust: Be sure the crust is completely cooled before adding the filling. Otherwise, the filling will melt. 
  • Softened cream cheese: Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Don't rush the chill time: The pie needs at least 4 hours of chilling time before slicing; overnight is even better.
