Ingredients
Scale
Pudding Layer:
- 1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 container (8 oz) whipped topping (like Cool Whip), thawed
Cake Layers:
- 1 box graham crackers (about 18 full sheets)
- 2 cups fresh strawberries, sliced
White Chocolate Topping:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Pudding Layer: In a large bowl, whisk together the pudding mix and cold milk for 2 minutes until thickened. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined.
- Assembly: In a 9×13-inch baking dish, arrange a single layer of graham crackers on the bottom. Spread half of the pudding mixture over the crackers, then add a layer of sliced strawberries. Repeat with another layer of graham crackers, the remaining pudding mixture, and more strawberries. Top with a final layer of graham crackers.
- White Chocolate Topping: In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and stir in the white chocolate chips, butter, and vanilla extract until smooth. Let cool slightly, then pour evenly over the top layer of graham crackers. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the graham crackers to soften. Serve chilled.
Notes
- For extra strawberry flavor, spread a thin layer of strawberry jam over the graham crackers before adding the filling.
- You can substitute milk chocolate or dark chocolate for the topping if preferred.
