- Use Full-Fat Cream Cheese: This is key for achieving that rich, creamy texture.
- Let the Cream Cheese Soften: Soft cream cheese will blend much easier and prevent lumps.
- Don't Over-Mix: Over-mixing can cause the filling to become too thin.
- Chill Thoroughly: This allows the bars to set properly and develop their flavor.
And remember, patience is a virtue! The longer these bars chill, the better they'll taste. โณ
