* **Graham crackers or digestive biscuits**
* **Whipped cream (or Cool Whip/Nana’s homemade version)**
* **Chocolate syrup or melted chocolate chips**
*That’s it!* Of course, every family has their twist—some added shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or a cherry on top—but the base recipe stayed the same.

## 👩🍳 How to Make Nana’s 3-Ingredient Log
1. **Layer it up:** Spread whipped cream between graham crackers to make little “sandwiches,” then stack them end-to-end in a log shape on a serving tray.
2. **Frost it:** Cover the whole log in more whipped cream, smoothing it out like icing.
3. **Drizzle and decorate:** Drizzle chocolate syrup over the top (or spread melted chocolate), then add your favorite garnishes if you like—sprinkles, nuts, or fruit.
4. **Chill:** Cover and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours (overnight is even better). The crackers soften into a cake-like texture.
5. **Slice & serve:** Cut diagonally for beautiful striped slices. Watch everyone’s eyes light up!

## 🧁 Why It’s Still a Winner
* **No baking required**
* **Kid-friendly and nostalgic**
* **Great make-ahead dessert**
* **Customizable and foolproof**
Even decades later, it still brings smiles. It’s the kind of dessert that disappears fast and leaves you wondering why you don’t make it more often.
