Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh strawberries
- 3.4 oz lemon-flavored instant pudding mix
- 1.5 cups cold milk
- 8 oz whipped topping (thawed)
- 1 tbsp lemon zest
- 6 sheets graham crackers
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 4 tbsp salted butter (melted)
Instructions
Start by making the graham cracker crust. Crush the graham cracker sheets into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, sugar, and melted butter. Mix well until the crumbs are evenly coated and have a sand-like texture.
Press the mixture into the bottom of a serving dish or individual dessert cups to create a firm crust. Set aside.
Wash and hull the strawberries, then chop them into small pieces. Reserve a few whole strawberries for garnish if desired.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon-flavored instant pudding mix and cold milk until smooth and thickened (about 2 minutes).
Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully incorporated, being careful not to deflate the mixture.
Add the chopped strawberries and lemon zest to the pudding mixture. Gently fold until evenly distributed.
Spoon the lemon strawberry fluff mixture over the prepared graham cracker crust, spreading evenly.
Chill the assembled dessert in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the crust to firm up.
Before serving, garnish with the reserved whole strawberries and additional lemon zest if desired.
