Lord Baltimore Lush Dessert

Ingredients

1. 24 ladyfinger cookies
2. One (3.4 oz) pkg instant vanilla pudding mix
3. 2 cups milk, divided
4. One (8 oz) tub Cool Whip, thawed
5. 1 jar maraschino cherries, drained, de-stemmed and roughly chopped
6. 1 cup slivered almonds
7. ½ cup shredded coconut

Instructions

• Line an 8x8" square baking dish with foil, extending the sides of the foil over the edges of the pan. Mist the foil lightly with cooking spray.
• Add ½ cup of milk to a shallow dish or bowl. Dunk ladyfingers into the milk one at a time and line up side-by-side in the pan; you should have 2 rows of about 6 ladyfingers in each row. Break apart some ladyfingers to fit if needed. Set aside briefly.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the remaining 1 & ½ cups milk and the dry pudding mix for 2 minutes or until thickened. Once thickened, fold in the whipped topping until combined and smooth. Spread half of the whipped pudding mixture evenly over the ladyfingers; sprinkle the pudding layer with half of the cherries, ½ cup of the almonds, and ¼ cup of the coconut.
• Repeat with remaining milk-dunked ladyfingers, pudding, and remaining cherries, almonds, and coconut. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm and set, at least 4 hours.
