Ingredients

3/4 cup (180ml) heavy cream
1 pkg (250g) cream cheese softened
2 pkgs (102g each or 3.4oz each) INSTANT vanilla pudding mix (see notes*)
2 & 1/2 cups (600ml) milk
1 box (400g) graham crackers
2 cups blueberries
2 cups sliced strawberries

Instructions

In a medium bowl and using an electric mixer; beat the heavy cream until stiff. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and the dry pudding mix until combined. Slowly and gradually beat in the milk until smooth. Fold in the whipped cream.
Spread a thin layer of the cream mixture onto the bottom of a 9x13" baking dish. Layer the graham crackers on top. Spread 1/3 of the cream onto the crackers. Sprinkle half of the blueberries over the cream.
Repeat with another layer of crackers, cream, and half of the strawberries.
Repeat with a final layer of crackers and the remaining cream. Decorate with the rest of the berries. Cover and chill for 4 hours or overnight. Serve cold.

Notes

Leftovers can be covered and stored in the fridge for 2-3 days.

*The vanilla pudding mix gives the cream filling a slight yellow tinge. If you want the cake to be pure white, you can use white chocolate pudding mix or add an extra layer of whipped cream or cool whip on top before adding the final layer of berries.
