Ingredients

Pudding Layer

• 1 (3.4-ounce) package instant banana pudding mix
• 2 cups cold milk
• 1 (8-ounce) container whipped topping, thawed

Fruit Layer

• 3 to 4 ripe bananas, sliced
• 1 pound fresh strawberries, diced
• 2 to 3 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)

Cookie Crumble Layer

• 1 cup crushed Golden Oreo cookies or vanilla wafer cookies
• 1 cup crushed freeze-dried strawberries
• 3 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Pudding

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the instant banana pudding mix and cold milk according to the package directions.

Allow the pudding to thicken for about 5 minutes.

Gently fold in the whipped topping until the mixture becomes smooth, light, and creamy.

Step 2: Prepare the Strawberries

Place the diced strawberries in a bowl.

If you’d like a sweeter filling, sprinkle them with the sugar and let them rest for 10 to 15 minutes. This helps release their natural juices and enhances their flavor.

If your strawberries are already very sweet, you can skip this step.

Step 3: Make the Cookie Crumble

Combine the crushed Golden Oreos (or vanilla wafers), crushed freeze-dried strawberries, and melted butter in a bowl.

Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.

This creates a buttery topping with a delicious strawberry flavor and satisfying crunch.

Step 4: Assemble the Dessert
