Equipment

  • mixing bowl
  • 9x13-inch baking dish
  • Microwave

Ingredients
  

Pudding Mixture

  • 3.4 ounces cheesecake flavored instant pudding mix
  • 1.5 cups whole milk make sure it's very cold
  • 8 ounces thawed whipped topping

Layers

  • 14.4 ounces graham crackers
  • 1 pound fresh strawberries washed, hulled, and sliced
  • 16 ounces store-bought strawberry frosting heat in microwave for 10-15 seconds before pouring

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cheesecake-flavored pudding mix and milk until it thickens, usually within a couple of minutes. Set aside.
  • Gently fold in the thawed whipped topping.
  • In a 9×13-inch baking dish, lay a single layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom.
  • Pour half the pudding mixture over the graham crackers, spreading it evenly.
  • Add a layer of sliced fresh strawberries on top of the pudding mixture.
  • Add another layer of graham crackers over the strawberries.
  • Pour the remaining pudding mixture over this second layer of graham crackers.
  • Add another layer of sliced strawberries.
  • Add one more layer of graham crackers on top.
  • Heat the canned strawberry frosting in the microwave for 10-15 seconds to make it pourable. Be sure to remove all of the metal seal before heating.
  • Pour the warm strawberry frosting over the top of the cake, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.
  • Cover the dish with plastic wrap or heavy-duty aluminum foil and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld.
  • When ready to serve, carefully use a sharp knife to slice 12 pieces of cake. You can garnish it with a few extra fresh strawberries if you prefer.

Notes

Make sure your milk is very cold when you begin. Try to slice strawberries to the same thickness for even layers. Remove all metal seal before heating the frosting.
