For a richer flavor, use golden raisins or substitute dark rum for brandy. If you don't have sour cream, plain Greek yogurt can be used as a substitute. Ensure the butter is cooled before adding to prevent the egg yolk from cooking. The filling can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. For a smoother filling, ensure the cream cheese is thoroughly softened before creaming with the sugar.

Jun 29, 2025I used rum instead of brandy, and it was still amazing! Thanks for the great recipe.

Jun 27, 2025My cream cheese wasn't soft enough, so the filling was a little lumpy. Next time, I'll make sure it's completely softened.
