Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
My favorite variation is eliminate pudding layer and substitute sliced fresh strawberries. Do not try to use pudding and strawberries as crust will get mushy
This dessert only keeps for a day,especially if you use strawberries.
Do not use frozen strawberries-too watery
I rarely have any leftovers to worry about
