For a richer flavor, use European-style butter in the crust. Ensure the cream cheese is thoroughly softened to prevent lumps in the filling. Garnish with a few fresh lemon slices or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving for an elegant presentation. If you don't have graham crackers, digestive biscuits or shortbread cookies can be used as a substitute for the crust.
