Step-by-Step Instructions
To start, I begin by preparing the fresh strawberries. I take my knife and cutting board to hull the strawberries, slicing them into thin pieces to get the juices flowing. The smell is heavenly, and besides, fresh strawberries are the heart of this dish. In another bowl, I mix the instant vanilla pudding mix with the milk and whisk until it thickens—this usually takes just a minute or so! I sometimes add a splash of vanilla extract for that extra flavor burst. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
