Ingredients

For the Layers:

• 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced

• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened

• 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

• 2 cups cold milk

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (such as Cool Whip)

For the Pink Frosting:

• 1 cup whipped topping

• A few drops pink food coloring (gel or liquid)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Filling:
   In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add vanilla pudding mix, cold milk, and vanilla extract. Beat for 2–3 minutes until thickened. Gently fold in 8 oz of whipped topping until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

2. Assemble the Layers:
   In a 9×13 inch glass dish, spread a thin layer of the cream filling on the bottom. Place a single layer of graham crackers over it to cover the base. Spread one-third of the cream mixture over the crackers, then top with a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat with another layer of graham crackers, cream, and strawberries. Finish with a final layer of graham crackers and the remaining cream mixture.

3. Frost the Top:
   In a small bowl, mix 1 cup of whipped topping with pink food coloring until evenly colored. Spread this pink topping evenly over the final cream layer.

4. Chill to Set:
   Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to allow the crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.

5. Serve:
   Slice and serve chilled. Each bite delivers creamy texture, sweet berries, and that nostalgic soft graham cracker “cake” feel.
