Mix milk and pudding together with a whisk until no lumps remain. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to thicken.
6.8 oz lemon instant pudding, 4 cup milk
Place 10 cookies into a resealable bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.
10 whole lemon sandwich cookies
Cut the angel food cake into 1″ pieces using a bread knife.
14 oz angel food cake
Place half of the cake into the bottom of a trifle bowl.
Add half of the pudding and half of the whipped topping.
8 oz whipped topping
Sprinkle with half of the crushed cookies.
Repeat the three layers.
Once you finish with the whipped topping, add remaining whole cookies to the top of the bowl. Sprinkle with remaining crushed cookies.
5 whole lemon sandwich cookies
Refrigerate 4 hours before serving.

==> You can make ahead, but know that the cookies will soften due to the pudding and whipped topping.

==> Scoop to the first layer of cake when serving. This will get you about 6 servings per layer.
