Note
Storage: This dessert freezes well. Keep tightly covered in the freezer for up to 1 month. Cut and serve directly from the freezer.
Substitutions: You can substitute butter for margarine in the crust. Use vanilla or chocolate pudding mix exclusively if you prefer a single flavor profile.
Tips: Ensure the crust is completely cool before adding the cream cheese layer to prevent it from becoming soggy. For a richer flavor, add a tablespoon of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture.
