- Chill the Dip: Keep the mixture chilled until ready to serve to help maintain its stability and texture.

- Keep the whipped topping chilled until mixing to maintain the dip’s consistency.
- Substitute graham crackers with crushed vanilla wafers or digestive biscuits if preferred.
- Try other fresh fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or apple slices for variety.
- This dip is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
