Notes

STORAGE: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat with a splash of water or broth to restore moisture. Do not freeze as the texture will change.
MAKE AHEAD: You can prepare crust and filling up to 24 hours in advance and store covered in the fridge. Assemble day-of.
SUBSTITUTIONS: For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with vegan alternative, butter with coconut oil, and cream with coconut cream. Gluten-free graham-style crumbs work 1:1.
PRO TIPS: Chill all tools for whipping cream; fold filling gently to avoid deflation; macerate berries for syrupy topping.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve in chilled glasses with spoons; pair with fresh mint or granola; ideal for picnics or parties.
