Notes
This recipe yields 4-6 servings, but you can always put them in smaller cups if you have a larger crowd. Also, there is no whipped cream topping on this version, but I’m sure it would taste fantastic. You could use store bought whipped cream or your own recipe.
And finally, wait to garnish with the graham crackers until ready to serve so that they don’t get soggy!
