Prep strawberries: Wash and slice your strawberries into thin lengthwise slices and set them aside while you prepare the filling.

Cream: Add cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to your pudding mixture and blend well using a mixer.
Add Cool Whip: Once the pudding cream cheese mixture is smoothly blended, mix in cool whip until creamy and smooth.
Add crackers: Place a layer of graham crackers evenly along the bottom of an ungreased 9x9 baking dish. You may have to break the graham crackers to make an even layer, which is ok.
Spread: Smooth half of the cream cheese mixture over the graham cracker layer as evenly as you can. Then arrange a layer of strawberry slices over the cream cheese mixture placing them as closely together as you can.
Repeat these layers once more. graham crackers, cream cheese mixture, and ending with strawberries. Cover the dish in your refrigerator for 8 hours so that the flavors can combine, and the pudding can set.

Notes
You can get away with only using 1 pound of strawberries by spacing them out a little more than I do.
