1. Let poundcake partially thaw in refrigerator before starting recipe.
2. In a bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups vanilla pudding that you have prepared (or pre-made vanilla pudding from the market) and 1/3 cup thawed orange juice concentrate. In another bowl, whip 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1 teaspoon sugar until soft peaks form.
3. Cut half of the partially thawed pound cake into 1/2-inch cubes. (Save the other half for snacks, etc.).

I made this according to directions, but added 2 tbsp Grand Marnier to the cream. I just was not that impressed with the flavors and it also seemed a little soupy, which may have been because of the liquor. Thanks for sharing though.
