Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup of milk
1 package (3.4 oz) of instant vanilla pudding mix
2 cups of fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced
2 tablespoons of granulated sugar
1 cup of heavy cream
2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
12 graham crackers, crushed
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the milk and instant vanilla pudding mix. Whisk vigorously for about 2 minutes until the mixture thickens. Set aside to allow it to firm up.
In another bowl, mix the sliced strawberries with granulated sugar. Let them sit for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, beat on medium speed until it begins to thicken. Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue beating until soft peaks form.
In clear cups or bowls, begin by adding a layer of crushed graham crackers at the bottom.
Next, spoon a layer of the vanilla pudding over the graham crackers, filling the cups halfway.
Add a layer of the marinated strawberries on top of the pudding.
Top the strawberries with another layer of vanilla pudding, filling the cups until nearly full.
Finish with a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of each cup, and sprinkle a few extra crushed graham crackers for garnish.
Chill the pudding cups in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.
