Notes

Whether you are using Dairy Free cream cheese or regular cream cheese, always allow it to come to room temperature before mixing. Not only will it allow the mixture to come together more easily, but it will also keep it smooth and lump free.
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.
