Notes
Overnight chilling provides the best flavor and texture.
Substitute blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, or peach pie filling for a different variation.
Add a little lemon zest to the cream cheese mixture for a citrus twist.
Use crushed graham crackers or toasted pecans instead of the suggested topping if desired.
Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
