Ingredients
For the Strawberry Pudding:
- 16 ounces frozen sliced strawberries in syrup, thawed
- 3 1/4 cups whole milk
- 6 ounces cream cheese
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup cornstarch
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the Whipped Cream:
- 2 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
For Assembly:
- 14.5 ounces Pepperidge Farm Chessmen Cookies (2 bags)
- 1 pint fresh strawberries
Instructions
- For the Strawberry Pudding: Set a medium saucepot on the stovetop, and pull out a blender. In the blender, combine the strawberries in their syrup, milk, cream cheese, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and salt. Cover and puree until very smooth. Then pour the mixture in the saucepot.
- Simmer the strawberry pudding over medium heat, stirring consistently until the mixture is smooth and thick. Remove from heat. (Note: The pudding will thicken more as it cools, so don't let it cook too long. 5-6 minutes at the most.)
- For Assembly: You will need 15 small whole strawberries or 15 large strawberry halves for the garnish. If needed cut large strawberries in half.
- Pull out a 9X13 inch baking dish. Arrange one bag of Chessmen cookies in a single layer on the bottom of the baking dish.
- Scoop the strawberry pudding over the Chessmen cookies. Spread it out into an even layer. Arrange the second bag of Chessmen cookies over the top of the pudding.
- For the Whipped Cream: In a stand mixer, combine cold heavy cream and sugar. Using the whip attachment, whip the cream on high until firm.
- Once the pudding has cooled 5-10 minutes, spread the whipped cream over the top of the cookies. Top the whipped cream with 15 strawberries. Chill for 1-2 hours before serving. The pudding should be firm enough to cut and lift out of the pan, supported by the cookies.
