- 2 pounds strawberries washed and sliced
- 1-1/2 cups blueberries washed
- 3.4 ounces Jell-O Instant Vanilla Pudding
- 2 cups cold milk
- 16 ounces whipped topping
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 14.4 ounce box of Graham crackers
Add the instant pudding to a large bowl.
Pour the milk into the bowl and mix until pudding thickens.
Add 12 oz. of whipped topping to the bowl and mix together.
Next, add the softened cream cheese to the bowl and mix until well blended.
Spread a couple of spoonfuls of whipped topping on the bottom of a 9" x 13" casserole dish (reserve the rest for the top of the dessert).
Add the first layer of Graham crackers over the whipped topping (about eight crackers).
Spread one-third of the cream cheese mixture over the Graham crackers. Top with several rows of strawberries and blueberries.
Line again with Graham crackers, then cream cheese topping, then berries.
Line once more with Graham crackers.
Top with the remainder of the cream cheese topping.
Add the remainder of the whipped cream and spread it out, covering the dessert. Line the top with strawberries and blueberries.
Refrigerate for at least four hours to help soften the Graham crackers.
Tips And Tricks
- Use a whisk attachment to mix the pudding and cream cheese mixture. It will help get most of the lumps out of the cream cheese.
- Slice the strawberries flat so they will layer easier.
- You can switch out the fruit to go in the cake. You can use strawberries, blueberries, bananas, mangos, pineapple, or just about anything.
- If you want to switch out the Graham crackers, you can use vanilla wafers instead. However, you will most likely need to buy two or more boxes so you will have enough.
