Notes

Substitutions: Use crushed digestive biscuits or oatmeal cookies instead of graham crackers. Allow at least 2 hours of chill time for perfect texture. Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier mixing. Pumpkin Lush is best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days.
