How to Make 7 Layer Punchbowl Dessert

  1. Prepare 1 (3 ounce) package strawberry gelatin according to package directions. Pour into the bottom of a large punch bowl or trifle bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until completely set.
  2. In a separate bowl, prepare 1 (3.4 ounce) package instant vanilla pudding according to package directions. Spread evenly over the set gelatin layer.
  3. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped topping into the pudding layer. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the layer to set slightly.
  4. Layer 1 cup fresh strawberries (sliced) over the pudding mixture.
  5. Repeat steps 2 and 3, creating a second pudding and whipped topping layer.
  6. Layer another cup of fresh strawberries (sliced).
  7. Top with remaining 1 cup of whipped topping and garnish with fresh berries and chocolate shavings (optional).
  8. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
