Cuisine: American
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made graham cracker pie crust
- 1 package instant vanilla pudding mix
- 2 cups milk
- 1 cup mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: a pre-made graham cracker pie crust, instant vanilla pudding mix, milk, mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries), cherry pie filling, and whipped cream.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the instant vanilla pudding mix with 2 cups of milk. Whisk the mixture vigorously for about 2 minutes until it thickens and becomes smooth.
- Once the pudding is ready, carefully pour it into the pre-made graham cracker pie crust, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Next, take your mixed berries and wash them thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry with a paper towel. If using strawberries, hull and slice them into smaller pieces for easier distribution.
- Evenly distribute the mixed berries over the layer of vanilla pudding in the pie crust. You can arrange them in a decorative pattern or simply scatter them for a more casual look.
- Now, take the can of cherry pie filling and spoon it over the top of the mixed berries, ensuring that it covers the berries and pudding layer completely.
- To finish, add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top of the cherry pie filling, creating a beautiful and fluffy layer. You can use a spatula or a piping bag for a more decorative finish.
- For an extra touch, you may garnish with a few whole berries or a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs on top of the whipped cream.
- Once assembled, place the pie in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow it to set slightly before serving. This will help the layers meld together.
- After chilling, slice the pie into 6 equal servings and enjoy your delightful Cherry Berry Patriotic Pudding Pie!
