Time 3h

Yield 16 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Nonstick cooking spray, for the baking dish
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Two 5.3-ounce boxes shortbread cookies, placed in a resealable plastic bag and crushed with a rolling pin
One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
5 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch kosher salt
One 12-ounce container frozen whipped topping, such as Cool Whip, thawed
4 cups diced strawberries (from about 2 pints)
One 3.4-ounce package instant vanilla pudding (plus required ingredients)

Steps:

  • Spray an 8-inch square baking dish lightly with nonstick cooking spray. Combine the butter, granulated sugar and 1 1/2 cups of the crushed cookies in a medium bowl. Press the mixture into the prepared baking dish and freeze to set, about 15 minutes.
  • Combine the cream cheese, confectioners' sugar, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Fold in 3/4 cup of the whipped topping to lighten. Pour the filling over the crust and smooth with an offset spatula, then top with 2 cups of the diced strawberries. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.
  • Meanwhile, make the instant pudding according to the package directions. Pour over the filling. Top with the remaining whipped topping, cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours to set.
  • Before serving, sprinkle the remaining cookie crumbs and diced strawberries over the top.

This lush was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with more spices or a different type of fruit.

I'm not a huge fan of strawberries, but I loved this lush! The cream cheese layer and the buttery crust really balanced out the sweetness of the strawberries. I will definitely be making this again.

This lush is the perfect summer dessert! It's light and refreshing, and the strawberries add a delicious pop of flavor. I love serving it with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

This lush was easy to make and turned out great! The only thing I would change is to use a different type of crust. I used a graham cracker crust, but I think a shortbread crust would be even better.

I made this lush for a potluck and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it. The crust was flaky and buttery, the filling was creamy and tangy, and the strawberries added a nice sweetness. I will definitely be making this again.

This lush was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar in the filling. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.
