04 - 2 cups of fresh strawberries, sliced thin

05 - 1 pre-made graham cracker crust

04 - Spread strawberries on the bottom of the crust, then pour half of the pudding mixture on top.

05 - Layer the remaining strawberries and cover with the rest of the pudding mix.

06 - Refrigerate it for at least 2 hours to firm up perfectly before slicing.
