  2. Allow the pudding to rest for 5 minutes to reach optimal thickness.
  3. Gently fold in 2 cups of whipped cream or whipped topping into the pudding mixture using a spatula, achieving a light and airy texture.
  4. Wash and slice 1 cup of fresh strawberries and 2 ripe bananas into thin, even pieces.
  5. In a large serving dish, layer crushed cookies, banana slices, pudding mixture, and sliced strawberries until all ingredients are used.
  6. Finish with a layer of pudding and garnish the top with crushed cookies and slices of strawberries and bananas.
  7. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2-4 hours, ideally overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
  8. Scoop into bowls and serve cold to enjoy the creamy, fruity layers.
