Baking Tips
Use room temperature cream cheese for smoothest texture
Don't overwhip the cream - stop at stiff peaks
Let caramel cool slightly before spreading to prevent melting other layers
Dip knife in warm water between cuts for clean slices
Make ahead - flavors improve after overnight chilling
Toast pecans lightly for extra flavor before adding to caramel
Press crust firmly for best texture and to prevent crumbling
Store covered in refrigerator for up to 4 days
Let sit at room temperature 10 minutes before serving for easier cutting
