Notes
When it comes to mixing up your cream cheese filling regardless of using Dairy Free cream cheese or regular cream cheese, always make sure that you let it sit out and come to room temperature. This will give you that silky, velvety, luxurious texture that is free of lumps.
Convection Ovens vs Traditional Oven
In convection ovens, the fan promotes even heat distribution, allowing you to bake at a slightly lower temperature. Reduce the recommended baking temperature by approximately 25°F when using a convection oven compared to a standard oven.
