Steps:
- Mix pudding mix and milk-(skim or low fat is fine) and beat on low for 2 minutes.
- Fold in Cool Whip- can be low or non fat.
- Place 12 crackers in bottom of 8" square dish to cover bottom, break crackers if needed. Breaking also helps disguise the saltines.
- Top with 1/3 of the pudding mix.
- Repeat to create a total of three layers of crackers and three layers of pudding.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Just before serving top with cleaned and sliced berries.
- Note: Vanilla and strawberries are my favorite combo but try with different types of fresh fruit using what is in season. Also try different pudding flavors keeping in mind that lighter colors disguise the saltines the best!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Combine pudding mix and cold milk; fold in whipped topping. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- Unfold pastry on a cool, lightly floured surface. Cut into 3 strips along fold marks, then cut each strip into four equal pieces. Place 2 inches apart on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until golden brown. Remove from baking sheet, and cool.
- Split pastries into 2 layers, setting the 8 best looking tops aside. Spread 8 bottom layers with dollops of the pudding mixture. Top each with a layer of strawberries, a small amount of pudding, and another pastry layer. (A small amount of the pudding mix on top of the berries will help keep the layers together.) Spread with remaining pudding mixture and strawberries, and top with remaining pastry layers (the best looking ones). Sprinkle with confectioner's sugar.
