- Soften the Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before making the filling. This will help it blend smoothly and create a creamy texture.
- Make the Whipped Cream Ahead of Time: You can make the whipped cream up to a day in advance. Just be sure to keep it covered in the refrigerator until you're ready to use it.
