1 lb strawberries, sliced
3-4 bananas, sliced

Prepare the Pudding Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the vanilla pudding mix and cold milk until it thickens.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract until soft peaks form, then gently fold into the pudding mixture.
Make the Strawberry Cream Layer: Mix the strawberry puree with whipped topping until well combined.
Assemble the Layers: In a large pan or individual serving containers, layer the pudding mixture, followed by a layer of crushed vanilla wafers, banana slices, and strawberry slices.
Add a layer of the strawberry cream, then repeat the layers as desired.
