Ingredients
  

For the Pudding
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries (sliced) Choose ripe strawberries for best flavor.
  • 1 cup vanilla pudding (prepared) Use store-bought or homemade.
  • 1 cup whipped cream Store-bought or homemade.
  • 1 package Nilla wafers Provides a delightful crunch.
  • 1/4 cup sugar (optional for sweetening strawberries) Adjust based on sweetness preference.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. If you like your strawberries a bit sweeter, combine them with the sugar in a bowl. Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to draw out their natural juices.
Layering
  1. Start by placing a layer of Nilla wafers at the bottom of your serving dish.
  2. Spread a layer of vanilla pudding over the wafers.
  3. Add a layer of the sweetened strawberries on top of the pudding.
  4. Follow with a layer of whipped cream over the strawberries.
  5. Continue the layering process until all ingredients are used up, finishing with a layer of whipped cream on top.
Chill & Serve
  1. Allow the pudding to chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
  2. Garnish with additional sliced strawberries or a sprinkle of crushed Nilla wafers just before serving.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 2-3 days for best flavor. The wafers may soften over time.
