For a richer flavor, use brown sugar in the graham cracker crust.
Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the filling.
Be careful not to overbake the cream cheese layer, as it can crack.
For a neater presentation, use a piping bag to apply the whipped cream.
This dessert can be made a day in advance, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully.
If you're concerned about using raw eggs, you can substitute pasteurized eggs or use an egg substitute in the cream cheese layer.
