Notes
Tip: For a vegan version, substitute the heavy cream with coconut cream and use a plant-based sweetened condensed milk alternative.
For the best flavor, use fresh raspberries and freshly squeezed lime juice. If you prefer a sweeter pudding, feel free to adjust the sugar to your liking. You can also substitute the granola with crushed cookies or nuts for a different crunch!
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days, but keep in mind that the granola may lose its crunch over time. To serve, you can layer it again if needed to refresh the presentation.
