List of Ingredients



• 1 pound fresh ripe strawberries
  
• ¼ cup granulated sugar
  
• 1 package (3.4 ounces) French vanilla instant pudding mix
  
• 1 cup skim milk
  
• 8 ounces prepared pound cake
  
• Aerosol real whipped cream, to taste
  






Instructions



1. Rinse the strawberries and save six small, well-formed berries for garnish. Cap and slice the remaining berries into thick pieces and place in a 2-quart shallow bowl. Add the sugar to the strawberries and stir well. Using a potato masher, mash the strawberries into small bites. Set aside.
   
   
2. In another 2-quart bowl, mix the pudding and the 1 cup of milk. Stir in the strawberries and their juices. Stir well and place in the refrigerator to thicken.
   
   
3. Cut the cake into small (½-inch) cubes and distribute evenly between six wine glasses, parfait glasses, or small dessert bowls. Remove the pudding mixture from the refrigerator and spoon the partially thickened pudding over the cake. Top with whipped cream, and garnish with reserved strawberries. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
