Notes

  1. Beat your cream cheese before adding any other ingredients, this helps to prevent any lumps from forming.
  2. Adding in eggs one at a time helps blend a liquid into a fat and gives it time to combine at a rate better then adding them all in at once.
  3. Make sure you completely cool on counter before chilling.
  4. You can substitute any fruit that you like, or other mix ins that you desire.
  5. These can be frozen, reference above.
