Notes

✔ Don’t overbake! The center should still be slightly jiggly for the perfect gooey texture.
✔ Use full-fat cream cheese for the creamiest consistency.
✔ Enhance the flavor by adding espresso powder or chocolate chips to the filling.
✔ Store properly: Keep at room temperature for 2 days, refrigerate for 5 days, or freeze for 3 months.
✔ Best served warm for an ultra-gooey experience!
