Instructions

Beat cream cheese and dry pudding mixes: In a large bowl, use a mixer to beat the softened cream cheese together with the dry vanilla instant pudding mixes until well blended and smooth.
Gradually beat in milk: Slowly add the cold milk to the cream cheese and pudding mixture, continuing to beat until the mixture is thoroughly combined and smooth.
Stir in Cool Whip: Gently fold in the Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream into the pudding mixture, reserving about half a cup of Cool Whip for the topping layer.
Layer the dessert: Spread a thin layer of the reserved Cool Whip evenly in the bottom of a 9×13-inch pan. Then create alternating layers: start with graham crackers, followed by the pudding mixture, then a layer of fresh sliced strawberries and blueberries. Repeat these layers until the pan is filled, ensuring the top layer is the remaining Cool Whip.
Refrigerate: Cover the assembled dessert and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or preferably overnight. This allows the graham crackers to soften and the flavors to meld beautifully.
Drizzle with white chocolate: Before serving, gently melt the white chocolate chips until smooth and drizzle them artistically over the top of the dessert for an elegant and delicious finishing touch.

Notes

You can substitute homemade whipped cream for Cool Whip for a fresher flavor.
Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the pudding mixture.
For added texture, consider layering crushed graham crackers instead of whole sheets.
Use fresh, ripe berries for the best flavor and sweetness.
This dessert can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated for convenience.
