Notes
To store leftovers, keep the pie covered in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for about 3 to 4 days. If possible, avoid freezing it, as the texture may change when thawed. For added texture, consider mixing in some chopped peanuts to the filling. You can try using chocolate or cookies for the crust instead of graham crackers.
