How to make Strawberries And Cream Lush

1 cup mixed nuts, finely chopped

1 cup Nilla Wafer Cookies, chopped fine

1 stick butter, unsalted, melted

1 cup Confectioners Sugar

8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened to room temperature

1 large tub Cool Whip Whipped Topping

2 small boxes instant vanilla pudding mix

3 cups whole milk, 2% is okay too

1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced

Crush the mixed nuts and the Nilla Wafer cookies in a blender on pulse until you achieve a medium fine crumb

Add in the melted butter and pulse until combined

Place the crumb mixture into a 9×13 cake pan and press down using a flat bottom glass. Be sure to make the layer even

In a medium bowl combine the Confectioners Sugar, 1 ½ cups of Cool whip and the cream cheese.

Beat until smooth

Pour this over the crust mix, in an even layer

In another bowl combine the milk and the instant pudding mix, beat until the pudding is formed

Layer this over the Cream cheese mix in the pan

Place a layer of sliced strawberries over the pudding layer, save some of the strawberries to put on the top as a garnish

Cover with the remaining Cool Whip evenly.

Chop some of the remaining strawberries and sprinkle over the top of the whipped topping layer

You may also want to sprinkle some of the cookie crumb crust mix on the top

Enjoy!
