Ingredients
- 10 pieces Twinkies
- 4 cups Fresh strawberries
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 16 ounces Whipped topping (thawed)
- 0.5 cups Strawberry glaze (optional)
- 6 leaves Mint leaves (for garnish, optional)
Directions
Step 1
Hull the strawberries and slice them thinly. Place sliced strawberries in a bowl, sprinkle with granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and mix well. Allow the mixture to sit for 10 minutes to release juices.
Step 2
Unwrap the Twinkies and cut each one in half lengthwise, creating two layers per Twinkie.
Step 3
In a 9x13-inch glass dish, create the first layer by placing the cut Twinkies (cream side up) tightly across the bottom of the dish.
Step 4
Spread half of the macerated strawberries, including their juices, evenly over the Twinkies layer.
Step 5
Spread half of the whipped topping over the strawberry layer, smoothing it with a spatula.
Step 6
If using strawberry glaze, drizzle a thin layer over the whipped topping for added sweetness and shine.
Step 7
Repeat the layers: another layer of cut Twinkies, the remaining strawberries and juices, then the whipped topping. Smooth the top layer.
Step 8
Refrigerate the dessert for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 9
Just before serving, garnish with fresh mint leaves and additional strawberry slices if desired.
Step 10
Serve chilled and enjoy!
