Notes

  • For a cookie crust, swap graham crackers for crushed Oreos or Biscoff cookies.
  • Want a firmer set? Freeze for 1 hour before serving.
  • Dulce de leche hack: If you don’t have store-bought, simmer a can of sweetened condensed milk for 2–3 hours until caramelized.
  • Storage: Keep refrigerated for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
