Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 Twinkies, unwrapped
  • 3.4 ounces box of instant vanilla pudding
  • 1½ cups whole milk
  • 16 ounce container of fresh strawberries, divided into ½ cup and the remainder
  • 8 ounces whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

  • Prepare the Twinkies: Place the unwrapped Twinkies into the bottom of an 8×8 baking dish.
  • Prepare the Pudding: In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and whole milk for 3 minutes or until thickened.
  • Layer the Pudding: Spread the vanilla pudding evenly over the Twinkies in the baking dish.
  • Prepare the Strawberries: Dice 3-4 of the strawberries into small pieces. You should have about ⅓-½ cup of diced berries. Set aside.
  • Arrange the Sliced Strawberries: Slice the remaining strawberries into ¼-inch thick slices. Arrange the sliced strawberries in a single layer covering the entire surface of the Twinkie cake.
  • Top with Whipped Topping: Top the layer of strawberry slices with the thawed whipped topping. You can use an offset spatula to smooth the whipped topping into an even layer.
  • Finish with Diced Strawberries: Sprinkle the reserved small diced strawberries evenly over the surface of the no-bake Twinkie cake.
  • Chill: Refrigerate for 1-2 hours to allow the pudding layer to firm up before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • If you want to make this cake ahead of time, you can refrigerate it overnight for extra firmness.
  • You can substitute the whipped topping with homemade whipped cream if preferred.
