Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 ripe banana sliced
  • 1 3.4 oz package instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 2 cups cold milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups whipped topping like Cool Whip
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix, cold milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk together until smooth and thickened, about 2 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter until well combined.
  3. In a 9x9 inch dish, layer half of the graham cracker mixture on the bottom.
  4. Spread half of the pudding mixture over the crumbs, followed by half of the sliced strawberries and bananas.
  5. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.
  6. Top the final layer with whipped topping and garnish with additional sliced strawberries and banana if desired.
  7. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a chocolate twist, substitute chocolate pudding mix for the vanilla and add chocolate shavings on top.
  • You can also use crushed Oreos instead of graham cracker crumbs for a different flavor profile.
