No-Bake Berry Delight Recipe

Looking for a dessert that’ll dazzle your guests at your summer cookout? Look no further than this irresistible no-bake Berry Berry Tasty Pudding! Packed with juicy, sweet-tart berry goodness, it’s a guaranteed crowd-pleaser.

To get started, prep your berries—slice or hull approximately 6 cups of mixed strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries. Toss them with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, then let them chill while you move on to the next step.

In a large bowl, combine 8 ounces of mascarpone cheese, a can of sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces), and a packet of instant French vanilla pudding mix (3.4 ounces). Slowly incorporate 1 ½ cups of whole milk until the mixture is smooth. Let it chill for a while to set.

Next, whip up 3 cups of cold heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the chilled pudding mixture.

Now, it’s time to assemble your pudding. In a 9×13-inch dish, layer your prepared berries followed by a layer of vanilla wafer cookies from an 11-ounce box. Spread a thin layer of the pudding mixture over the cookies, then repeat the layers. Finish with a final layer of pudding on top.

For a vibrant finishing touch, blend 1 cup of freeze-dried berries into a powder using a blender. Sprinkle this powder over the pudding.

Cover the dish and refrigerate it for at least 4 hours, or up to 12 hours, before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.

And if you’re pressed for time, you can make this pudding a day ahead—just hold off on sprinkling on the freeze-dried fruit powder until right before serving.

With its creamy pudding, fresh berries, and crunchy cookies, this Berry Berry Tasty Pudding is sure to be the star of your summer celebration. Enjoy!
