Steps:

• Whisk the milk and cream in a large bowl until combined. Add the lemon zest and juice and whisk until thickened, about 1 minute.
• Spread 2 cups of the pudding mixture in the bottom of a 2 quart casserole dish. Top with one layer of the cookies, breaking them as necessary to cover thoroughly. Repeat layering pudding and cookies until all the pudding is used, ending with pudding. (If your cookies are smaller, you'll use more; if they're larger, you'll use fewer.)
