These delightful Strawberry Cream Cups feature a buttery graham cracker crust, creamy vanilla pudding filling, and fresh strawberries, making for a perfect dessert that’s both refreshing and indulgent.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs
- ½ cup melted butter
- ¼ cup sugar
- 1 package (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups cold milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Honey (optional, for drizzling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Crust: In a medium bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and sugar. Mix until well combined. Press the mixture into the bottom of small serving cups or ramekins, creating a firm base.
- Make the Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk. Let it sit for a few minutes until it thickens. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the thickened pudding mixture.
- Assemble: Spoon the creamy filling over the graham cracker crust in each cup. Top with thin slices of strawberries.
- Chill: Refrigerate the mini treats for at least an hour to allow the flavors to set.
- Garnish & Serve: Add a dollop of whipped cream on top if desired, and drizzle honey over each treat for a touch of sweetness. Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider using homemade whipped cream instead of store-bought.
- Feel free to substitute strawberries with other berries like blueberries or raspberries.
