  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature before using, this will help it to mix smoothly.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites, otherwise they will become too stiff and difficult to fold into the mixture.
  • Gently fold the egg whites into the mixture, using a spatula, to avoid deflating them.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Allow the squares to cool completely before cutting and serving.
  • For a more intense lime flavor, use freshly squeezed lime juice and zest.
  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese.
