  • Total Time: 4 hours 15 minutes (includes chilling time)
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

For the crust:

2 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs

1/2 cup melted butter

1/4 cup sugar

For the filling:

2 cups heavy whipping cream

1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix

1 cup milk

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the topping:

1/2 cup chocolate chips

2 tablespoons heavy cream

Fresh strawberries for garnish

Instructions

  • In a medium bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Press the mixture into the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan to form the crust.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together heavy whipping cream, instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until thickened and smooth.

  • Spread half of the pudding mixture over the graham cracker crust. Add a layer of fresh sliced strawberries.

  • Spread the remaining pudding mixture over the strawberries and smooth it out evenly.

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips and heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.

  • Drizzle the chocolate glaze over the top of the cake and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

  • Before serving, garnish with additional fresh strawberries.

Notes

  • Variations: Use raspberries, blueberries, or blackberries for a mixed berry version. Add crushed nuts or cocoa powder for a chocolate twist.

  • Storage: Store this cake covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  • Reheating: This dessert is best served chilled, so no reheating required.
