This is very easy to make. My younger son helped me make this for dessert tonight. Strawberry shortcake is my fav... and it's a good treat to start the summer with.

Notes from the Test Kitchen:
This is a cool and yummy take on strawberry shortcake. The two different puddings layered in a dish with vanilla wafers and strawberries is not only beautiful but is delicious on top of the pound cake. The cheesecake pudding makes this rich while the strawberry pudding just enhances the overall strawberry flavor. You could easily eat the pudding layer on its own. This would be a great dessert if serving a large crowd. Just slice up the pound cake, set out the strawberry sauce and pudding, then everyone can build their own.

Ingredients

2 box: strawberry cream Jell-O pudding, 3.4 oz each
2 box: cheesecake Jell-O pudding, 3.4 oz. each
2 c: fresh cut strawberries
1 box: vanilla wafer cookies
1: pound cake
1 pkg: tub whipped topping, 16 oz.
1 pkg: strawberry sauce

How to Make Strawberry Cheese Shortcake

Step-by-Step

1Prepare the strawberry and cheesecake Jell-O pudding according to package directions. After mixing, put in the ice box.

(I used 1/2 c less milk to mix pudding for each box to make it thicker... up to you)
2Wash and slice fresh strawberries. Set aside.
3Put a little over half a box cookies at the bottom of your dish.
4Add one of you puddings on top of cookies.
5Then add a layer of fresh slice strawberries.
6Repeat layers until all your ingredients are gone.
7Top with whipped cream and a few crushed vanilla wafers.
8Set into ice box for 2 hours before serve.
9Slice pound cake, spread sauce on a slice of pound cake.
10Add your layered pudding mix on top. It comes out like strawberry shortcake with cheese cake.
