Tips & Substitutions

For a creamier texture, use whole milk instead of low-fat milk. You can also substitute almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version. If you want extra flavor, consider adding a splash of vanilla extract to the pudding mixture. Make sure to blend well to avoid any lumps and let the filling set properly before spreading it on the graham crackers.

Serving Suggestions

Storage & Reheating
