Make sure the cream cheese is softened for a smooth texture. This dessert tastes even better when chilled overnight. You can swap graham crackers with chocolate cookies or digestive biscuits. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For extra flavor, add caramel drizzle or crushed nuts before serving.
