Notes

This recipe needs to chill in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours before serving. You can most definitely make this a day before so that it is ready when you need it.
Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature to avoid lumps in the cream cheese mixture.
If you are transporting the pie, we recommend setting the whole pie inside a glass or metal pie pan to give it more stability. You can also flip the plastic insert in the premade crust. This makes a perfect lid for the top of the pie.
