Make the gluten free pudding according to the package instructions. Set aside.
Pour heavy cream into a medium size bowl and begin to mix. Begin slow and gradually increase the speed. After 1 minute add vanilla extract and sugar. Whip until the cream has firmed up.
Remove the head of the strawberries and slice strawberries.
Fold the whipped cream into the gluten free vanilla pudding (don't over work) and add ¾ of the fresh sliced strawberries to the mixture. Use the remaining ¼ for decoration.
Spoon the pudding into dessert cups and garnish with sliced strawberries.
