- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a silky, lump-free filling that blends seamlessly.
- Fold whipped cream gently to maintain its airy texture and prevent deflating the delicate mixture.
- Chill cheesecake thoroughly to allow flavors to meld and achieve the ideal firm, creamy consistency.
