My daughters gave me a copy of Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals 2 Cookbook and of course the first thing I tried was a dessert! Her recipe actually called for double the rum quantity but I found it way too strong so I have halved that measurement. Ingredients:
8 ladyfingers |
1 1/2 fluid ounces rum |
2 cups prepared vanilla pudding |
8 large juicy ripe strawberries, sliced |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1 (2 ounce) package almonds, sliced (i would toast them next time) |
cool whip or heavy cream |
Directions:
1. Separate 8 ladyfingers on work area.
2. Using a pastry brush, paint the ladyfingers with the rum as mentioned, I have halved this original qty- her recipe calls for 3 oz.
3. Line small glass dessert cups with the ladyfingers.
4. Top with heaping spoonfuls of prepared vanilla instant pudding (about 1/2 cup) per dish.
5. Sprinkle sliced strawberries with sugar and toss to coat.
6. Top the dessert cups with the strawberries and a dollup of coolwhip/heavy cream and sprinkle with almonds.
7. Serve, or chill until dessert time.
8. Enjoy!
