A creamy, no-bake dessert combining sweet strawberries, fluffy whipped cream, and bite-sized chunks of cake, perfect for celebrating Mother’s Day.

Ingredients

  • Fresh Strawberries – washed, hulled, and sliced
  • Pound Cake – cut into bite-sized cubes (or substitute angel food cake)
  • Whipped Topping – 8 oz (225 g), such as Cool Whip
  • Vanilla Pudding Mix – 1 packet, instant
  • Milk – 1 ½ cups (360 ml), cold
  • Cream Cheese – 8 oz (225 g), softened
  • Powdered Sugar – ¼ cup (30 g)
  • Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon (5 ml)

Instructions

  1. Whisk together 1 packet of instant vanilla pudding mix and 1 ½ cups (360 ml) of cold milk in a medium mixing bowl until smooth and slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 oz (225 g) of softened cream cheese with ¼ cup (30 g) of powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon (5 ml) of vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Fold the prepared vanilla pudding into the cream cheese mixture gently to keep the fluff light and airy.
  4. Add 8 oz (225 g) of whipped topping (like Cool Whip) to the bowl and gently fold it in until well combined and creamy.
  5. Stir in the cubed pound cake and strawberry slices carefully to maintain texture.
  6. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together and the texture to set.
  7. Serve chilled and garnish with extra strawberry slices or powdered sugar if desired.
