Fold in whipped topping until it is smooth. Highly recommend dividing the mixture up into smaller containers/bowls to set in the freezer for a couple of hours.

Spoons are recommended. *Store bought cake is fine but recommend no icing as the pudding will be sweet enough. If baking the cake yourself, add some baileys to the wet ingredients for flavor.   You can support us by donating to: Education Through Music at https://www.classy.org/give/442371/#!/donation/checkout The D'Addario Foundation: http://www.daddariofoundation.org/about/donate  Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation: https://www.mhopus.org/donate/    Email us at boozicals@gmail.com or comment your musical requests or cocktail recommendations!

Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until fruit is softened and has released its juices (7-10 min). Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove fruit back to the mixing bowl, leaving the juice in the saucepan. While juice cools, prepare graham cracker crumb rim on cocktail glass (recommend tumbler or martini). Once juice is warm to lukewarm, add brandy and stir to fully mix. Recommend juice to brandy ratio of 2:1. Add 1-2 spoonfuls of cooked fruit to the bottom of the glass.

(Chef's note: If you'd like to enjoy the drink as a cordial to sip, continue cooking the juice in the saucepan after you remove the fruit for 2-3 minutes until it reduces to a syrupy consistency. This creates a rich liqueur quite reminiscent of a pie filling!)   You can support us by donating to: Education Through Music at https://www.classy.org/give/442371/#!/donation/checkout The D'Addario Foundation: http://www.daddariofoundation.org/about/donate  Mr. Holland's Opus Foundation: https://www.mhopus.org/donate/  Email us at boozicals@gmail.com or comment your musical requests or cocktail recommendations!
