• Make sure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing. You can leave it out for about an hour before using.
• Be careful not to overmix the whipped cream when folding it into the cheesecake mixture; you want it to stay fluffy.
• If you want a sweeter filling, you can adjust the amount of powdered sugar based on your taste.
