1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk (NOT evaporated milk)

1-1/2 cups water

1 package (4-serving size) instant vanilla pudding & pie filling mix

1 cup heavy or whipping cream

3 packages (3 ounces each) ladyfingers

1 cup raspberry jam

1/4 cup rum or sherry

2 packages (12 ounces each) frozen red raspberries, thawed and drained

Sweetened Whipped Cream (recipe follows)

In large mixing bowl combine condensed milk and water. Add pudding mix. Beat well. Refrigerate 5 to 10 minutes. In small mixing bowl whip cream until stiff peaks form. Fold into chilled pudding mixture. Sandwich ladyfingers with 3/4 cup of the raspberry jam. Use to line bottom and side of 2-1/2 to 3-quart bowl. Brush with rum or sherry. Spoon pudding mixture into ladyfinger-lined bowl. 

Toss drained raspberries with remaining 1/4 cup jam. Cover and refrigerate about 1/4 cup of the mixture. Spoon remaining raspberry-jam mixture over pudding mixture in bowl. Top with Sweetened Whipped Cream. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight. 

Garnish with reserved 1/4 cup raspberry mixture and mint leaves just before serving.
