Ingredients
Scale
- 1 3.4 oz/96g box vanilla instant pudding
- 1 ½ cups (266ml) nonfat milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 25 Golden Oreos (or another vanilla flavored cookie/graham cracker)
- 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, melted
- 12 ounces (510g) Cool Whip Topping (or fresh whipped cream)
- 1 pound fresh strawberries (hulled and sliced)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Allow the mixture to sit while you work on preparing the crust.
- Place the Golden Oreos into a large gallon-sized ziplock bag. Use a rolling pin to crush them into fine crumbs. Reserve 1/2 cup of cookie crumbs in a separate bowl. Add the melted butter to the remaining cookie crumbs in the bag and mix by pressing with your hands. Pour this mixture into a 9-inch square baking dish, pressing down firmly to create an even layer.
- Fold 8 ounces of Cool Whip topping into your prepared pudding mixture until well combined. Spread half of this pudding mixture over the cookie crust. Arrange sliced strawberries in a single layer over the pudding. Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the strawberries evenly. Top with more Cool Whip topping and sprinkle reserved cookie crumbs on top.
- Cover your dish with plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving to allow layers to set properly.
