If using spring form pan, run knife or spatula between sides of pan and remove sides.
Note: Another variation is to line spring form pan with 16 to 18 lady fingers. (Liz doesn't like this variation, just in case you wanted to know.) |

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.
