Notes
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature before you use it. This little trick helps it mix perfectly with the other ingredients, giving you a super smooth and creamy filling without any lumps.

No piping bag? No problem! Just grab a ziplock bag and snip off a small corner. It works like a charm for spreading the filling evenly.
