Tips & Substitutions
For a richer flavor, consider using cinnamon graham crackers instead of regular ones. If you prefer a lighter texture, you can substitute the Cool Whip with Greek yogurt. Additionally, be mindful of the consistency of the pudding; using cold milk will help achieve the right thickness. For a fun twist, try layering different flavored sugar-free puddings like vanilla or strawberry.
