Cream cheese should sit at room temperature to avoid lumps.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Change the sprinkle colors for different holidays or themes.
Try crushed Oreos, white chocolate drizzle, strawberries, or blueberries on top.
Alternative crust options include vanilla wafers, chocolate Oreos, or graham crackers.
