If using spring form pan, run knife or spatula between sides of pan and remove sides.

Personal Notes:
THis was Liz's FAVORITE dessert growing up. She requested it every year on her birthday. Sorry Mom!!

Note: You can use prepared 9" graham cracker crumb crust in place of graham cracker crumbs and butter. You can also just forgo the crust and chill the mixture in a bowl and serve as you would pudding.
