Ingredients

• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 cup chopped raisins
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1 (12 ounce) package vanilla wafers, crushed
• 1 (4 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained and chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

In a medium bowl, stir together the pecans, raisins, walnuts, cherries, condensed milk and vanilla wafers. Dough will be very thick, you will need to use your hands.

Step 2

Form dough into a ring shape on top of a dinner plate. Wrap in many layers of plastic wrap and/or aluminum foil. Allow to age in the refrigerator for at least a week. The flavors will have a chance to blend and all of the milk will be absorbed into the cake.
