Notes

STORAGE: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 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. Add topping 1 hour before serving.
SUBSTITUTIONS: For a dairy-free version, substitute cream cheese with vegan alternative, butter with coconut oil, and cream with coconut cream. Gluten-free graham crumbs work as a 1:1 swap.
PRO TIPS: Use cold bowl for whipping cream to achieve stiff peaks faster. Strain glaze for ultra-smooth shine. Chill knife before slicing for clean cuts.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS: Serve chilled wedges with whipped cream and mint. Pairs with iced tea, BBQ, or fresh salads for picnics.
