Notes
For a unique crust flavor, try using honey graham crackers. Swap granulated sugar with coconut sugar for a healthier option. Greek yogurt can replace sour cream for a tangy twist. To enhance flavor, add a pinch of nutmeg to the filling. For an impressive presentation, drizzle caramel sauce and garnish with fresh berries.
