A pecan crust, layers of cream cheese-whipped topping-confectioner sugar, vanilla pudding, fresh sliced strawberries, and then topped with more whipped cream.
Place the butter, flour, sugar, and pecans in a large mixing bowl. Combine ingredients well, using a fork or pastry cutter. Press into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, beat together the cream cheese, confectioner sugar, whipped topping, and vanilla until smooth. Spread over cooled crust and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
In a large size mixing bowl, beat together the pudding and milk for about 2 minutes, until starts to thicken. Fold in 3 cups of the strawberries. Spread evenly over the cream cheese layer. Refrigerate at least 4 hours.
Prior to serving, spread remaining whipped topping over the pudding and garnish with fresh sliced strawberries.

***If serving this in individual parfait/dessert glasses, when crust comes out of the oven, spoon 2 heaping tablespoons in bottom of each glass. Cool. Divide the cream cheese mixture evenly between the glasses. Chill. Divide the pudding mixture evenly between the glasses. Just prior to serving, top with a scoop of the whipped topping and a fresh strawberry*** This will make 9 or 10 (9oz) servings.
