Make sure your cream cheese is softened for a silky filling. You can substitute the graham cracker crust with other cookies if desired. For a dairy-free version, use vegan cream cheese and plant-based butter. Feel free to add other spices like ginger or cloves for a flavor twist! Enjoy this delicious pie at any gathering—it’s sure to impress!
