Note

Soften the cream cheese first.
Let it sit at room temperature for about 20–30 minutes so it blends smoothly without lumps.

Use cold milk.
Cold milk helps the pudding set properly and gives the fluff its thick, creamy texture.

Fold, don’t mix, the whipped topping.
Gently folding keeps the dessert light and fluffy instead of dense.

Drain strawberries well.
Extra moisture can make the fluff runny. Pat them dry with a paper towel if needed.

Chill before serving.
Even 30 minutes in the fridge helps the flavors come together and makes it easier to scoop.

Add toppings right before serving.
Graham cracker crumbs stay crisp and strawberries stay fresh-looking.
