Notes
For best structure, chill the casserole for at least 2 to 3 hours before serving.
Use cold milk when preparing the pudding to help it set properly.
Do not overmix the pudding or cream layer, as this can affect the final texture.
Always cover and refrigerate leftovers to keep the dessert fresh.
This recipe can be customized with vanilla pudding, peanut butter, mini chocolate chips, or crushed graham crackers for extra flavor variation.
