Success Tip: Have the eggs at room temperature before adding to the cream cheese mixture. Eggs beat to a greater volume if they are between 65°F and 75°F when beaten.
Substitution: Try using graham crackers instead of vanilla wafers for the crust. Place graham crackers in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until crumb consistency.
