No Bake Twinkie Cake is an easy layered dessert made with soft twinkies, creamy vanilla pudding, fresh strawberries, and fluffy whipped topping. This quick no bake treat is perfect for summer parties, potlucks, and simple family desserts.

Ingredients

9 Twinkies, unwrapped

1 (3.4 oz) box instant vanilla pudding

1½ cups whole milk

16 oz fresh strawberries (divided: ½ cup diced, remainder sliced)

8 oz whipped topping, thawed

Instructions

Arrange the unwrapped Twinkies in a single layer in the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking dish.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the instant pudding mix and whole milk for about 3 minutes, or until thickened.

Spread the vanilla pudding evenly over the Twinkies.

Dice 3–4 strawberries into small pieces (about ⅓–½ cup). Set aside.

Slice the remaining strawberries into ¼-inch thick slices. Arrange them in a single layer over the pudding.

Spread the thawed whipped topping evenly over the strawberries using an offset spatula.

Sprinkle the reserved diced strawberries over the top.

Refrigerate for 1–2 hours to allow the pudding layer to set before slicing and serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a thin layer of strawberry glaze over the sliced berries.

Substitute chocolate pudding for a chocolate twist.

Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Best served chilled for clean slices.
