Twists & Tips

– No graham crackers? No problem. You can use pre-baked bread for different types of bread.

– Go ahead! You can keep this cake in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, making it the perfect dessert
to whip up before your busy schedule.
– Finally, be sure to wait for the cream cheese to come to room temperature before you start. It will
make a world of difference in getting the flexibility we want.
