Ingredients:

Serving

1 (3 1/4 oz) package jello vanilla or 1 (3 1/4 oz) package coconut cream pudding and pie filling, cook & serve, not instant
1 1/2 cups milk
24 ladyfingers, split
1/4 cup orange juice
2/3 cup softened butter
2 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar , sifted
1/8 tsp almond extract
1/2 cup very finely chopped pecans
2 cups baker's fine-grated coconut, toasted
prepared dream whip (optional)

Directions:

Prepare Jello Pudding as directed on package, using only 1 1/2 cups milk. Remove from heat. Cover surface with plastic wrap and cool. Line an 8-inch square dish or pan with several layers of wax paper, allowing paper to extend as 2-inch tabs above edge of dish.
Line bottom and sides of dish with some ladyfingers. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons orange juice.
Cream butter until light and fluffy. Alternately add sugar and cooled pudding; then add almond extract, pecans, and coconut.
Spread about a third of mixture on ladyfingers. Arrange half of remaining ladyfingers on mixture. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon orange juice. Top with another layer of pudding mixture. Add remaining ladyfingers, orange juice, and pudding mixture in that order. Top layer should be pudding. Chill thoroughly, at least 4 hours. Grasp paper tabs to remove from dish. Lift onto serving platter; slide wax paper from underneath. Garnish with prepared Dream Whip, if desired. Makes 12 large or 18 small servings.
Note: The 12 to 18 servings is as the recipe is written. I have found that 9 servings from an 8-in pan is what I like to serve. Four hours cooking time is actually chilling time.
