No-Bake Strawberry Icebox Cake

(8 to 10 servings, in an 8 x 8-inch pan)

• 1 box (4-serving size) instant vanilla pudding
• 1 1/2 cups milk (I used 1%, use what you like)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 24 lady fingers
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 2-ish tablespoons confectioners sugar
• 1-lb strawberries, hulled, washed, dried and sliced

-Whisk the pudding and a splash of vanilla with the milk. Set it aside, so that it can thicken as you

prep your other ingredients.

-Whip the cream until it's light and fluffy. Add in the confectioners sugar when it starts to foam up.

Whip it until it just starts to hold stiff peaks.

-Remove the hulls, wash and slice your strawberries. Put them onto a paper towel after slicing so

that any excess moisture can be absorbed.

-To assemble:

Arrange half of the lady fingers in a single layer in the bottom of your dish.

Spoon half of the pudding onto the lady fingers.

Layer about half of the strawberry slices on top of the pudding.

(Put a few strawberry slices aside for a garnish.)

Repeat the layers using the remaining lady fingers, pudding and strawberries.

Spread the whipped cream on top and garnish with sliced strawberries.
