• 1 pound fresh strawberries (washed, hulled, and sliced)

• Optional: white chocolate shavings or additional whipped topping for garnish

Directions

1. Prepare the Filling
   In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk for 2–3 minutes until thickened. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated. Set aside.

2. Layer the Dessert
   In a 9×13-inch dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers to cover the bottom. Spread half of the pudding mixture evenly over the crackers.

3. Add Strawberries
   Arrange an even layer of sliced strawberries over the pudding.

4. Repeat the Layers
   Add another layer of graham crackers on top of the strawberries, followed by the remaining pudding mixture. Finish with a final layer of graham crackers.

5. Top and Chill
   If desired, spread a thin layer of whipped topping over the final cracker layer. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the crackers to soften into a cake-like texture.

6. Serve
   Slice into squares and serve cold. Garnish with more strawberries, whipped cream, or white chocolate curls if desired.
