2 teaspoons finely shredded orange peel
-
1/4 cup orange juice

In a medium bowl, combine milk and pudding mix; beat with an electric mixer on low speed for 2 minutes. Beat in orange peel and 2 tablespoons of the orange juice. Set aside. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Gradually add pudding mixture, beating until well mixed.

Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of the remaining orange juice. Spoon half of the pudding mixture over cake. Repeat layers. Cover and chill for 2 hours before serving. Makes 10 (2/3-cup) servings.
