Instructions
Step 1: Base Preparation

Step 2: Incorporate Texture
- Add the 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs and beat the mixture with an electric mixer until it becomes thick and creamy.
Step 3: Final Fold
- Stir in the 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts by hand until just combined and evenly distributed.
