Notes
[‘Make sure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps.’, ‘Press cookies down lightly as you layer to ensure an even base.’, ‘This dessert is best made a day ahead for flavors to meld.’, ‘If using heavy cream instead of whipped topping, whip it with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.’, ‘Add a splash of milk if the cream cheese mixture feels too thick.’]
