Ingredients

1 box of vanilla instant pudding

1/2 cup strawberry juice

1 1/2 cups nonfat milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

24 Lady Fingers

220 g (about 1 cup) Whipped cream, chilled

1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled, sliced, and patted dry

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pudding Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the vanilla instant pudding, nonfat milk, and vanilla extract until well combined. Set aside this luscious pudding mixture.
  2. Whip the Cream: Using a hand mixer or the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the chilled whipped cream until it forms stiff peaks. This fluffy cloud of creaminess will add a luxurious texture to our shortcake.
  3. Layer the Ladyfingers: Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the strawberry juice, allowing them to soak up the fruity flavor. Arrange the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom of a dish, creating a sturdy foundation for our shortcake.
  4. Spread the Pudding: Once the ladyfingers are in place, spread half of the prepared pudding mixture evenly over them. This creamy layer will infuse each bite with rich vanilla goodness.
  5. Add the Strawberries: Now, it’s time to adorn our shortcake with slices of fresh strawberries. Arrange the strawberry slices in a single layer over the pudding, ensuring that every spoonful bursts with fruity sweetness.
  6. Repeat the Layers: Repeat the layering process by adding another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining pudding mixture and sliced strawberries. This symphony of flavors will tantalize your taste buds with each bite.
  7. Top with Whipped Cream: Generously dollop the whipped cream over the final layer of strawberries, creating a pillowy blanket of decadence. This dreamy topping adds the perfect finishing touch to our strawberry shortcake masterpiece.
  8. Chill and Serve: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill the strawberry shortcake in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, allowing the flavors to meld together and the dessert to set perfectly. When ready to serve, garnish with additional strawberry slices for a stunning presentation.

Notes

For best results, ensure the ladyfingers are only briefly dipped in strawberry juice to prevent them from becoming too soggy. Additionally, patting the sliced strawberries dry helps maintain the dessert’s texture
