Easy and no bake Strawberry & Pudding Tart
I’m a big fan of strawberries & whenever they have a sale going on at the market, I’m sure to buy a few cartons. One of the ways I enjoy using my sweet, little red gems is to turn them into a simple, comforting strawberry dessert. One of my favorites is a ~ Strawberry & Pudding Tart. It requires no baking, can be made with regular, sugar-free or fat-free options ~ mix & match to your hearts content. It’s easy to prepare & sure to please.
Note: Here is the original recipe. I just decided to put strawberries without gelatin because my son does not like. You can do the same, I could also change the pudding flavor of coconut vanilla or chocolate …
Easy and no bake Strawberry & Pudding Tart
for the tart filling
- 4 cups sliced strawberries (or more if you like :)
- 1/3 cup prepared strawberry gelatin, regular or sugar-free
- 1 small box Instant French Vanilla Pudding mix, regular or sugar-free
- 3 Tbsp strawberry jam
for the no-bake graham cracker crust
- 10 sheets plain graham crackers
- 3 Tbsp milk
- Pam cooking spray
- whipped cream, optional
Directions
Step 1
Blend graham crackers in food processor until they turn into a fine crumb. Add in the milk & mix until fully incorporated. Spray pie pan with Pam, pat the moistened crumbs into the pie pan & set aside ~ then proceed with the tart filling.
Step 2
Fill the prepared graham cracker crust with the French Vanilla pudding/pie mixture (that has been prepared for ‘Pie Filling’, per box instructions) in an even layer.
Step 4
Blend the cooled (but still liquid) strawberry jello with the strawberry jam ~ in a large bowl until jello/glaze is completely mixed. Add the strawberries & gently toss until fully covered with jello/glaze mixture. Set aside.
Step 5
Spoon the strawberries over the pudding/pie mixture, in an even layer, mounding in center if necessary. Place in fridge & let set for a few hours to firm up. Serve with whipped cream, if desired. Enjoy!
