How to make strawberry pudding cake 

Dissolve the strawberry jelly powder:

First, place the water in a saucepan and bring it to a boil. Turn off the heat, add the jelly powder, and whisk until completely dissolved. Set aside.

Grease the pan:

Grease a 9-inch cake pan with a hole in the middle with vegetable oil. You can use a silicone mold. We found them easier to remove the pudding.

Blend the ingredients:

Add the condensed milk, heavy cream, milk, and jelly water to a blender, and blend on high speed for 5 minutes.

Refrigerate the pudding:

Transfer the mixture to the cake pan and place it in the fridge for at least 4 hours. We recommend overnight. 

Unmold and serve:

To unmold, carefully dip the cake pan/mold in warm water for 20 seconds and remove. Place a plate on top of the cake pan/mold and turn the plate upside down so the strawberry pudding cake falls on the center of the plate. Decorate with fresh strawberries and some soft cookie crumbs on top! Serve immediately or refrigerate until serving!
