Notes
Use pie weights or dried beans when baking your crust, to prevent air bubbles. Or you can poke several holes in the crust with a fork.Make sure your cream cheese is softened so there are no little bits of cream cheese.If you dont want to make your own whipped cream you can use two containers of store-bought cool whip.Let the pie set up for about 4 hours before serving.
