Note

For the cream cheese product, ensure it is softened to room temperature before blending to achieve a smooth consistency without lumps.

You can substitute the orange liqueur with fresh orange juice if you prefer a non-alcoholic version, though the flavor will be less intense.

This dessert is best served chilled. You can prepare the topping up to 24 hours in advance and store it in the refrigerator, covered tightly.
