Instructions
- Preparation: Gather all ingredients and prepare a rectangular dish for layering.

Notes
- Using chilled whipped cream and condensed milk helps achieve the perfect fluffy texture.
- If graham crackers seem too hard, lightly dip them in milk to soften before layering.
- This dessert can be made a day ahead for convenience and better flavor melding.
- For a twist, add toasted coconut flakes or crushed nuts between layers for texture.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 3 days.
