Time 15m

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups milk, cold
1 (3 1/2 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding
1 (8 ounce) carton Cool Whip, thawed
36 saltine crackers
1 pint fresh strawberries, cleaned and sliced

Steps:

  • Mix pudding mix and milk-(skim or low fat is fine) and beat on low for 2 minutes.
  • Fold in Cool Whip- can be low or non fat.
  • Place 12 crackers in bottom of 8" square dish to cover bottom, break crackers if needed. Breaking also helps disguise the saltines.
  • Top with 1/3 of the pudding mix.
  • Repeat to create a total of three layers of crackers and three layers of pudding.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  • Just before serving top with cleaned and sliced berries.
  • Note: Vanilla and strawberries are my favorite combo but try with different types of fresh fruit using what is in season. Also try different pudding flavors keeping in mind that lighter colors disguise the saltines the best!

Tips:

  • To make the puff pastry, use high-quality butter and make sure it is very cold before rolling it out. This will help to create flaky, light layers.
  • When rolling out the puff pastry, be sure to do so on a lightly floured surface. This will prevent the dough from sticking.
  • If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the dough.
  • When assembling the Napoleon, be sure to spread the custard evenly between the layers of puff pastry. This will help to ensure that each bite is filled with delicious flavor.
  • If you are short on time, you can use store-bought puff pastry. However, be sure to thaw it completely before using it.
