Notes

For a softer crumb texture, chill longer before serving. For more crunch, add the reserved topping shortly before serving. Freeze portions in airtight containers for up to one month and thaw in the refrigerator. Handle servings gently to maintain clean layers. Customize flavors with blueberries, raspberries, vanilla pudding, or white chocolate. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to four days.
