Here’s a classic, no-bake Strawberry Delight—light, creamy, and fruity 🍓:
🍓 Strawberry Delight
🔹 Ingredients (serves 6–8)
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 (8 oz) container whipped topping (Cool Whip or homemade)
- 1 (3.4 oz) package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 (16 oz) package frozen or fresh strawberries, sliced
- 1 (12 oz) graham cracker crust or crushed graham crackers for base
- Optional: additional strawberries for topping
🔹 Instructions
1. Prepare the cream layer
- Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth
- Fold in half of the whipped topping
2. Prepare pudding layer
- In a separate bowl, whisk pudding mix with cold milk until thickened (~2 min)
- Fold remaining whipped topping into the pudding
3. Assemble
- In a trifle bowl or individual cups, layer as follows:
- Graham cracker crust or crumbs
- Cream cheese mixture
- Pudding + whipped topping mixture
- Sliced strawberries
4. Chill
- Refrigerate at least 2–3 hours or overnight for best texture
5. Serve
- Garnish with extra strawberries or whipped topping
- Scoop into bowls and enjoy
🔹 Tips
- Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor, but thawed frozen works fine
- For a more decadent version, drizzle with chocolate or strawberry sauce
- Can also layer in parfait glasses for individual servings
