Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons milk
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 ½ cups milk
• ¼ cup butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
• ½ cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 (3.5 ounce) package instant French vanilla pudding mix
• 1 ¼ cups crushed buttery round crackers
• 1 cup strawberries, halved

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix cracker crumbs with melted butter in a bowl and press mixture into a 9-inch pie dish to make a crust.

Step 3

Bake crust in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 8 minutes; let cool.

Step 4

Beat cream cheese with 2 tablespoons milk and white sugar in a bowl, using an electric mixer, until creamy and smooth. Spread cream cheese mixture into pie crust. Arrange strawberry halves over cream cheese mixture.

Step 5

Whip both amounts of cream with an electric mixer in a bowl until the cream is fluffy and holds firm peaks, about 3 minutes. Whisk French vanilla pudding mix with 1 1/2 cups milk in a separate bowl until pudding begins to thicken, 2 minutes. Let pudding stand 3 more minutes to set. Gently fold whipped cream into pudding mix and spread pudding mixture atop strawberries. Let pie chill for 2 hours before serving.
