  • Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature: This will help it mix smoothly with the other ingredients and create a creamy filling.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can make the crust tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the filling is set: The filling should be firm to the touch but still slightly wobbly in the center.
  • Let the tart cool completely before serving: This will help the filling to set properly.
  • Garnish with fresh fruit or whipped cream before serving: This will add a touch of elegance and make the tart even more delicious.
